Donald Trump won a significant legal victory against ABC News, securing a $24 million settlement in a defamation suit. The case arose from comments made by ABC host George Stephanopoulos regarding Trump's prior legal battles with E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of sexual assault.
Donald Trump 's defamation suit against ABC, owned by Disney, has resulted in a $15 million settlement paid to Trump 's presidential library foundation and an additional $1 million to cover his legal costs. This significant payout, unusual in both the US and Australia, is seen as a major victory for Trump in his efforts to control the media. The case stems from a 1996 incident where E. Jean Carroll, a writer, alleged that Trump assaulted her in a department store changing room.
While Carroll won several civil cases against Trump, including one where a jury found him liable for sexual assault, not rape, due to the legal definition of rape at the time, Trump sued ABC News for defamation after George Stephanopoulos, a prominent host, questioned Carroll about supporting a man found liable for rape.
