Donald Trump has reached a settlement with ABC News, agreeing to receive $15 million for his presidential library after accusing the network and host George Stephanopoulos of defamation. In addition, ABC will pay $1 million in legal fees and issue an online apology. The settlement avoids a costly lawsuit following controversial comments about Trump’s alleged sexual misconduct made during a March interview, where Stephanopoulos cited claims from E. Jean Carroll. Trump’s recent court ruling resulted in a jury holding him liable for sexual abuse.
