Trump settled two lawsuits with fake news ABC and paramount/cbs

• ABC News Defamation Lawsuit Settlement:
  • Details: On December 14, 2024, ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos settled a defamation lawsuit filed by President-elect Donald Trump. The lawsuit stemmed from a March 10, 2024, segment on ABC’s This Week, where Stephanopoulos inaccurately stated that Trump was found liable for rape in a civil case brought by E. Jean Carroll. A jury had found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, not rape under New York’s legal definition, though a judge noted the common parlance of rape applied.
  • Settlement Terms:
    • ABC News agreed to pay $15 million as a “charitable contribution” to a nonprofit for Trump’s future presidential library and museum, to be held in escrow.
    • ABC News also agreed to pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito.
    • An editor’s note was added to the online article, stating: “ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Representative Nancy Mace on ABC’s ‘This Week’ on March 10 of 2024.”
  • Context: The settlement was finalized a day after a federal magistrate judge ordered Trump and Stephanopoulos to sit for four-hour depositions, which the agreement avoided. Legal experts noted the case was weak due to First Amendment protections and the high bar for defamation against public figures, suggesting ABC settled to avoid prolonged litigation with a sitting president.
     

     
     

     
     

     
• Paramount/CBS Lawsuit Settlement:
  • Details: On July 2, 2025, Paramount, the parent company of CBS, settled a lawsuit filed by Trump over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris in 2024. The lawsuit claimed editorial decisions in the interview were defamatory or damaging to Trump’s reputation.
  • Settlement Terms:
    • Paramount agreed to pay $16 million, including Trump’s legal fees, to a fund for Trump’s future presidential library.
    • The settlement avoided further litigation, which could have impacted Paramount’s pending sale to Skydance Media, as the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) needed to approve broadcast license transfers.
  • Context: Media law scholars considered the lawsuit meritless, but Paramount settled, likely to secure FCC approval and avoid legal battles with the administration. This settlement raised concerns about a “chilling effect” on media, potentially leading to self-censorship.
