George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump and Pay Trump 15 Million.

It would have been easy since Trump would have to prove the statements made were false.

They were. He wasn't found guilty of what was said.

He could have simply stated "Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women" and there would have been no lawsuit.

He wasn't deposed so what you say is incorrect.

The DOJ should also be charging ABC for willful election fraud. The only way to stop fake news is to prosecute, fine and incarcerate.

I guess that would also mean that Foxnews, AON would get the Spanish Inquisition treatment.

Since when do you have to PROVE something false you fucktard? Our justice system is not set up on having to prove negatives.

The case was brought by Trump to prove, fucktard.

MSN About time holding these liars accountable for their words and actions. I hope all the nominees of President Trump start lining up their lawsuits with the Lame Stream Media and their lies about them also. Hit them where it hurts, right in their pocket books.

Tulsi Gabbard has a case against the left, because they keep saying she is a Russian Spy. Defamation lawsuit, bigly.

Actually they are supposed to pay that to the presidential library fund.

I don't think a library actually exists.

Maybe they couldn't find enough picture books?

That's not what you said. You said that Trump would have to prove the allegation false. The allegation of rape is false by default. As he's not a convicted rapist. Nothing for him to prove. The defendant would have to prove that what she said was true.

15 million dollars later yet another lying liberal has to pay Trump.

WE THE PEOPLE and MAGA Republicans have been stating for the past three years that there was no evidence that Jean Carroll was in the same country as President Trump at the time the alleged "rape" occurred let alone that there was physical vaginal penetration. That did not stop DNC Operative and ABC "News" Reporter Stephanopoulos


NEW YORK (AP) — ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll.

I don't owe you a ******* thing, Craponus.

ABC caved. Trump wasn't even deposed. ABC gave Trump $15M for a presidential museum and $1M for court costs.

And some wonder why people quit watching legacy media. Total crap on a case that ABC could have won.

ABC had no choice. They knew they had to make things right with Trump ir they'd be shut out for the next 4 years. Not good for ratings.

If Trump had been deposed he would have to prove his innocence. Way beyond what you want. Fucktard.

No he wouldn't. He simply would have had to show the statement was false and it was.

They didn't simply state he was a rapist. They stated he was found guilty of being one.

He most likely is one but he wasn't found guilty of being one.

Pretty much spot on.
ABC figured paying to kabash the suit is in their cheapest (and weakest) way out.

No he wouldn't. He simply would have had to show the statement was false and it was.

But ABC settled so what you say is moot.

Not sure how. I'm simply stating the facts and my opinion. Settling changes neither of those.

You think settling didn't prove anything is correct.

He wasn't found guilty of rape. Do I consider what he did rape? Yes.

The court didn't.

The court didn't.

The Woke Dingle Berries Love to destroy the English language

The word "rape" was used to interfere with the election and destroy President Trump's reputation.

Even the allege "victim" admits that much
