Facing depositions and the strong possibility of an embarrassment in court, ABC and George Stephanopoulos have agreed to apologize to President Trump and donate $15,000,000.00 to the President Trump library to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by President Trump.
(Via FOX) ABC News and their top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network paying the president-elect $15 million.
The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a costly trial. According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a “Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past.” Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees.
Stephanopoulos and ABC News will issue statements of “regret” as an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file a defamation lawsuit. (read more)
Just had some cherry pie and I Scream
-to celebrate 👻👻❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Now, can George Stephanopoulos be sued ?
Maybe he’ll beg for a pardon. 🤣
A civil suit, not a federal crime.
Why is it always the 4ft 2 in woke wankers who
They settled. No.
Grifter George
Serpent Stephanopoulos
wears rotten egg on his face forever
-good enough
He was part of that lawsuit.
His settlement amount will pay for the small doors at the midget entrances.
😆
As the legacy networks lose viewers and their revenue declines, this may serve as at least a bit of a deterrent going forward.
Can you imagine earlier versions of GOP anyone having the spine to sue the slanderers like this?
Now the bad guys are on notice.
Every “W” for our side is excellent.
Every “L” for team leftist is most excellent.
Be aware, this battle never ends.
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
That is great news. Midgets gonna visit President Trump’s library too.
Good to know we are going to have our own special doors.
🤣😆😂
Better yet, make him personally apologise to PDJT on the network. Let their viewers question what really happened? No matter how much, hush money (this if not hush money as it commonly is; is still hushed (from their viewers) can’t repair the damage done nor will these people stop smearing any one they want.
I guess I celebrated the news early, had steak and wine last night. ❤️ And 2 scoops of ice cream.
🥂🍻🥧 🍷 🐮 🍦👻
G!
Pound salt, ABC. You’ll be well-preserved.
Big whoop. ABC gets to eat a little crow and make a “charitable donation” that they’ll deduct from their taxes. Oh, the humanity!
lol couldn’t happen to a better midget troll
Are those drones? Just kidding…
😛
The glorious Golden Triangle!
Wow 🤩
Does L’il Georgie have to read a statement of regret and apology on air too? You know, like The Shrews?
From the link above in post:
Stephanopoulos and ABC News also had to issue statements of “regret” as an editor’s note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file the defamation lawsuit. The note reads, “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.”
Fifteen Million buys a lot of regret!
Mind you, this at a time when the networks ratings have tanked, and its revenues are in the toilet.
Msnbc is already on the auction block, now CBS right behind.
And low and behold, PDJT, Nunes are perfectly positioned with their media enterprise, to pick up these networks at bargain basement prices!
He actually MADE MONEY, on the Lawfare indictments, and now he will profit off of the medias besmirtching of him.
No wonder the more they attacked him, the bigger he smiled!
A businessman, indeed!
A statement of “regret” isn’t an apology. I guess I have a different definition of “Apology”. My, how times have changed.
Me, too. The way it is written is just more double speak. But I assume PDJT is satisfied in winning to make a point. I still think the point made should have had an exclamation point by using the word “apologize for false statements.”
Karma strikes again!
I think a malicious prosecution lawsuit in NY State is in order. Both for the fraudulent “sexual assault” claim and the various attempts by the State of New York to interfere in the 2024 election by conducting transparently fraudulent prosecutions of PDJT.
And Daniel Penny should sue both the family of the dead guy and the transit authority in New York for allowing a mentally deranged man to wander around NYC subways threatening passengers with death. It’s time to start putting culpability for the actions of the mentally deranged back on the State and to a lesser (but still important) extent on the families.
The laws are hostile to people who have severely mentally ill people in their families. But they should still be held liable for the malicious prosecution and also the civil suit which were simply an attempt to politicize a heroic action and cash in on the death of a family member who they likely did not give two shits about. (If they did, he would have been getting treatment, not wandering NYC terrorizing transit passengers.)
100% Doing this stuff back at the system is the only way to stop it going forward, simple as.
As someone who is familiar with this type of situation, it is NOT easy to get help for a mentally ill person in our country. And God help you if you call the police – they are likely to shoot and kill your loved one. It happens all the time.
George Step-on-all-of-us stepped in it bigly.
What an asshat. 🤣
…so much winning 🙂
More please!
OWNED
More winning!!
This makes me smile…The apology should be done in studio with Trump there!
Having the time of his life! Good for him.
It’s nice to see some poetic justice. In my view these people got off cheap. Old george stephanopoulos should be canned with no severance pay and no pension.
I think the IRS should make use of their 87K new agents and assign a committee every year for the rest of lil’ Georgie’s life and have as it’s sole purpose of finding every single, obscure, little used ruling to force multiple notices of delinquent non payment of taxes and force him and his lawyers to try and fight them until bankrupt and assets, garnishments to any pensions or lump sum settlements make him go cry in the corner when all are confiscated.
It’d take that many Agents to properly shakedown Congress, if they had a mind to..
Like that idea!
Maybe as punishment, George should be forced to join the cast of The View.
He would fit in well enough.
What a great early Christmas present! Joy To The World indeed!
This fits several categories, but the best IMO is seeing yet another limp-wristed Leftist / Hillary sycophant taking a hit for the team . . . . AFTER they already lost the game.
$15M?
That’s it?
They won’t even feel it.
That’s true. But they did admit their guilt. And President Trump has bigger fish to fry.
The apology is the punishment.
“They won’t even feel it”.

Kill joy posting, why?
Not so. Faux could afford to pay that fake Dominion settement, because they are#1, even after Tucker left.
But the others all have their ratings, ad revenues and influence in the toilet.
They had liability insurance to cover this sort of thing, but their premiums going foreward just went way up.
Hmm, expences going up, revenue down, and the entertainment divisions owned by the parent company are also in the red, as they keep pumping our DEI crap that nobody wants to watch, so they can’t “carry” the news division at a loss.
How long before they sell?
And what brand new media company is perfectly positioned to buy?
He SAID the MSM was the enemy of the people, and he has systematically created the conditions for its destruction.
And, in the process he profits.
“He SAID the MSM was the enemy of the people, and he has systematically created the conditions for its destruction.”
Sounds like something a Stable Genius would do.
StepOnAllOfUs no more.
George should be fired
The “judge” who presided over the E Jean Carroll case should also be sued into poverty because he told the jury to go with the presumption that PDJT r*aped Carroll when deciding whether or not PDJT publicly denying the r*pe accusation was, indeed, defamation.
I can’t wait until the slugs from ATL that have Rudy’s stuff are put back into the Poor House and Dom!n!on will be a bad memory, with all the wasted State and Federal tax dollars returned to their rightful coffers.
This should end George’s career, but it won’t. I bet it affects ratings.
He’ll get the Pulitzer, an Emmy and a raise from Disney. Btw, Trump is suing the Pulitzer Award Organization, too.
hahhaahhhaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa
President Trump has righteous win(d) at his back.
It’s wonderful to see he and First Lady Melania appear more at ease and enjoying this triumphant return.
Warms the heart.
THAT POS should be made to resign also! Trump should have asked for 1 billion dollars!
“made to resign”
Give “THAT POS” a way to avoid going through daily, very public, humiliation rituals like the rest of his Mockingbird TV Media colleagues?
Turn “THAT POS” into Team TDS’s new victim-martyr-saint who was “made to resign” thanks to Le Evil Orange Monster’s dastardly machinations?
Fwiw
My completely Real World inconsequential online opinion around forcing “THAT POS” to resign == nope.
At least for now.
I hear there is an auction on Border Wall starting at $5. Maybe use a part of the settlement to buy some, then offer it back for donations from us MAGA folk, complete with a “Donated By” plaque. I’d do it! 🙂
I would have liked an on air apology now from George Staphylococcus. Not a blurb at the bottom of an online article published 8 months ago. But I always trust DJT to get the best deal, so it’s all good.

Congrats on another well deserved victory, Mr. President.

Stephanopoulos Clams Up When Questioned on Racism (2008)
This is really good video. Something to stow away for safe-keeping.
Best photo ever of our pres & wife.
This Joyful Day on so many stories about our Great President Trump makes me remember 4 years ago and the terrible feeling and angst we had here. Thank you so much Sundance saving us all from the Abyss as we wandered in the desert for four years questing for the truth Amen
George went after Trump so viciously, but defended Bill Clinton’s known sexual assaults as head of his campaign’s War Room. Filled with such irony. E. Jean Carroll better not spend her pending settlement so fast!
The avalanche of revealed crimes continues. God Bless America! In God we trust! And, as Superman said: Truth, Justice, and the American Way!
If only our elected officials would say the same.
Having those responsible for attempting to cast aspersions upon POTUS’s character, be the same who are now required to pay for President Trump’s eventual Presidential library – is divine justice indeed.
Yes. Beautiful!🤩
Many more suits coming and he will win time to destroy MSM
As I have been sayung for some time, the MSM is a dead network, broadcasting; there fate is already sealed, it was sealed when they decided to shred their credibility, and drop any pretence of impartiality, in order to “Get Trump!”
“Dead network walking here, we got a dead network walking!”
With the loss of credibility went a koss of viewership.
Loss of viewership means loss of influence.
Loss of influence means loss of ad revenue.
Loss of ad revenue means,..out of business, as they can’r pay the bills.
Ahhh so fitting for such an arrogant, insufferable ass such is Stephanopoulos. Suck it Georgie!! 😆😆😆
I hope a bunch of news anchors and networks start issuing apologies and corrections.
And/or stop the slander and defamation.
Can’t help but remember all of the woe-be-gones that said the lawfare would bankrupt PDJT with attourneys fees, when I see the settlement includes $1 million in PDJT’s attorneys fees.
No, it was (as I predicted) the Lawfare cases that clarified PDJT’s authority, and that gave him a great opportunity to audition lawyers, to find out who were good and loyal, and who were blowhards or traitorous,…very important as he has 93 U.S. attorneys to appoint, plus an A.G., asst. A G.’s, a Solicitor General, White House Council, and many DOJ positions to fill.
Finally some accountability for the practitioners of the wrap up smear, but there’s still a long ways to go.
Democracy deniers announce their cynical duplicity.
“UNHINGED: Former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos floats impeaching President Trump or AG Bill Barr to Nancy Pelosi to prevent Trump from filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court.”
“Pelosi: “We have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that I’m not about to discuss…”
What a POS SHILL he is!
IMO, this is kind of a slap in the face when compared to the 150 million dollar judgement against Giuliani. Until there is actual accountability they’ll all continue to purposely lie. I am glad that a little something was done but don’t feel it was nearly enough. Hopefully the 10 billion dollar lawsuit outstanding actually comes to fruition, that’d be sweet.
Pass the Winnamins!!
Sundance, thank you for the schadenfreude. I have a sneakin’ suspicion there is more to come.
Should have been bigger $$$
15 million is no more than getting stuck paying for lunch to these people…..
Hopefully thay will wipe the smarmy, smug smirk off of Snuffleupagus’s puss for a while.

Donald Trump: ABC News is ‘very nasty’
So ABC pays. How much of the payment comes from the jerk who said it?
The Trump Presidential Library ought to have an animatronic George Steponallofus talking figure that greets visitors while stating, “This wing of the Trump Library was funded by me and ABC to settle a defamation lawsuit. We told many lies and fake news reports defaming President Trump. We had to pay $15 million to settle the defamation lawsuit. This library tells the true history of the Trump presidencies, #45 and #47. “
That would be a fantastic recorded opening welcome to the DJT Presidential Library’s Hall of Fake News wing.
Winning!
Yay!!
Next the $10 billion from CBS!
When Charles Dickinson insulted Andrew Jackson, Jackson shot him dead in a duel. They had to travel from Tennessee to Kentucky in order to do it legal.
I just like when people settled out of court.
The whole thing was so obviously a lawfare hit, and the venue so predictably weighted towards guilty guilty guilty, I pause and reflect on if these mental midgets have really quite came to terms with how poorly this is going to go for them in the future?
Are you thinking of another case? Trump filed this one against Steph for lying on air that DT was found liable of roping Egads Jean Carroll. That trial was to begin in days, which neither side wanted right now.
That woman needs to be sued, play all her statements back to her, and it will be another easy win for Trump.
They changed the statute of limitations which was past due so they could charge Trump.
The Jeanne Carol lawfare case against Trump, accusing him of raping her 30 years in the past in a changing room.
The first time I saw that woman I knew she was crazy. Crazy people have crazy eyes, just like Gwen Walz. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse1.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.ZqlNCBtG2jxUXq3u7XFPDwHaDt%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=35e478a88342044def7fee10c68dd0a5a844156ee4b4db2cf03e94e98645bd38&ipo=images
Question: Does George Snuffleupagus being both a mental midget as well as a REAL midget qualify him as a double minority??
