The articles report on a settlement reached between ABC News and Donald Trump regarding a defamation lawsuit. The lawsuit stemmed from a March 10 segment of "This Week" where George Stephanopoulos inaccurately stated that Trump had been found civilly liable for rape. In reality, a jury had determined Trump was liable for sexual abuse, not rape. ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million towards Trump's U.S. presidential library and $1 million towards his legal fees. They will also post a note on their website expressing regret over the claim.
