Here’s more.

The defamation case centers on Stephanopoulos saying a jury found Trump liable for rape in a civil trial brought on by E. Jean Carroll, who claimed Trump raped her years ago. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse, but not rape as defined by New York law.

Here’s the video where the alleged defamation took place. (WATCH)

Stephanopoulos stated that Trump was found liable for rape 10 times in the video.

Many posters are hoping Trump wins the case and it sends a message to ‘news’ agencies.
