Donald Trump settled a lawsuit against ABC for $16 million after the network's anchor George Stephanopoulos claimed he was 'found liable for rape,' which lacked factual basis.
The defamation claim arose from comments made on 'This Week' regarding E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit against Trump, where a jury found insufficient evidence of rape.
Trump let ABC off with a payment of $15 million towards his presidential library to avoid a defamation case that could damage the network's reputation.
Stephanopoulos's insistence on Trump's supposed liability for rape came from a case heavily influenced by a biased judicial environment, raising questions about media integrity.
