ABC News has agreed to a $15 million settlement in a defamation lawsuit regarding George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate claim about Trump, expressing regret in an editor's note.
The settlement was finalized on the same day a federal judge ordered Trump and Stephanopoulos to sit for separate depositions, thus canceling the need for sworn testimony.
ABC's contribution to Trump's presidential library is labeled as a 'charitable contribution' intended for a non-profit related to the library's future establishment.
While the settlement amount seems significant, it is just a fraction of the expected total costs for presidential libraries, like Obama's $830 million.
