ABC News has agreed to contribute $15 million to Donald Trump's presidential foundation or museum to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by the president-elect against the network and its star anchor George Stephanopoulos.

Stephanopoulos said on air earlier this year that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. A federal jury determined Trump was liable for sexual abuse.

Along with the contribution, ABC will pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump's lawyer.

In addition Disney-owned ABC News will post a note on its website expressing regret over Stephanopoulos' inaccurate statement, which was made during a March 10 segment of "This Week," according to a court filing made public Saturday.

Trump sued Stephanopoulos and ABC not long after the show aired.

"We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit," an ABC News spokesperson said.

In 2023, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll and ordered to pay $5 million in damages, after a trial in which the advice columnist alleged he raped her in a Manhattan department store nearly 30 years ago.

In 2024, a jury ordered Trump to pay Carroll an additional $83 million for defaming her by saying the former Elle magazine columnist fabricated the assault to generate publicity for her new book.

Trump has appealed both verdicts.
