ABC and George Stephanopoulos have agreed to pay President Donald Trump $16M to settle a defamation case filed this year. Today’s show breaks it down.

According to the New York Post:

ABC News agreed to pay a $15 million donation to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for [Trump], as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past,” along with $1 million for Trump’s attorney fees, according to the settlement.

“People can misspeak. You should not go after journalists for mistakes. I do not think Stephanopoulos was misspeaking. I will attribute ill intent here,” Crowder added.

ABC News and Stephanopoulos also would issue statements expressing their “regret” to the online article version of the anchor’s March interview that prompted Trump to file the federal lawsuit earlier this year, the settlement noted.

In other words, they lied.

It is unclear how Stephanopoulos can remain on the air after he caused the network to pay millions, but clearly, these people could not care less about the truth.

“She has accused many men of rape,” Crowder added.

“ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024,” the apology would read, according to the settlement agreement.

Trump slapped ABC and Stephanopoulos with a lawsuit in Miami federal court after the network star incorrectly said multiple times Trump was “found liable for rape” during a “This Week” interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC).

“If you actually believe someone is a convicted rapist, would you be less likely to vote for them for president? I would argue that many of you probably would,” Crowder said.

Trump may have had a rough start to the year, but he is finishing 2024 with win after win.
