George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump, are forced to pay $15 million to settle defamation suit

[excalibur]

Yeah, because Trump has never misused charity funds... oh... wait... yes he has:

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

Donald Trump is one of the least charitable billionaires in the world. Eric Trump is far more altruistic. In a clash of values, the president directed hundreds of thousands of dollars from his son's kids-with-cancer foundation into his company coffers.

Trump paid $2 million for misusing his charity, New York attorney general says

The court-ordered settlement money will go to eight charities.

Nope.

There also was no part of the state’s lawsuit that dealt with allegations that the Trump Foundation “stole from a kids cancer charity,” as the posts claim.

That detail appears to stem from a 2017 Forbes story that alleged Eric Trump’s separate nonprofit organization, the Eric Trump Foundation, engaged in self-dealing and misled donors.

Social Posts Distort Facts on Trump Charities - FactCheck.org

Posts on social media falsely claim that the Trump family is "disallowed from operating ANY charity" in New York because they "stole from a kids cancer charity." That inaccurately describes the outcome of a court case involving the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and conflates it with allegations...

He never was convicted of rape dumb-ass.

They found him not guilty of rape.

 

[Seymour Flops]

About time.

Public figures are fair game for honest criticism and even inaccurate reporting if done in good faith.

But not for lies reported with actual malice for which Stephanopolis is the poster boy when it comes to Trump.

Maybe this will help the media grow the fuck up already.

Stormy Daniels still hasn't paid Trump the $300,000 she owes him

Thank you for the clarification. And correction.

 

[Crepitus]

You mean fucking liars. I hope democrats are learning the lesson here.

Like what?

Rudy hasn't paid the millions he owes either.

 

[airplanemechanic]

I'm hearing Trump saying "that gives me some money to pay what I owe E. Jean Carrol for the sexual abuse I was found guilty of".

Is that judgement earning interest, or has Trump paid it without telling anybody?

You aren't found guilty in civil court, DUMBASS.

 

[Crepitus]

just think, only $985,000,000.00 and they will draw even with faux in penalties.

 

[TimFitz]

How much did Trump have to pay?

Naturally, Fox forgot to mention that Trump rushed to the settlement table because Trump was scheduled to be deposed next week. The last thing Trump wants is to be deposed or put on the stand.

 

[TimFitz]

Most presidents have a "library"...Trump is gonna have a MUSEUM!

And 100% of it will be paid for by TDS democrats who slandered him

I hope the TRUMP MUSEUM has a section of recordings of leftists apologizing to him!

He’ll probably convert the gold and brass lobby of the Trump Tower to it. Making the tourists ride all the esculators to the top level to get the cheap stuff. And it will be all Trump paraphanalia, and all for sale. There won’t be any books. Trumpsters don’t read and neither does Trump.

And he’ll try to declare the entire building as the museum in order to dodge property taxes.

Snuffalopagus is a smarmy little snake, always has been.

Yes,

Ummm, Trump is the plaintiff and was not fighting the deposition, they were working out the details with the Secret Service and Trump's schedule.

Depositions were set for both Trump and Stephanopoulos.

ABC settled because their attempt to get the suit dismissed last summer failed...

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHa now let me think...what is that called now? even at this early date 38@ days prior to January 20, 2025?? oh yes. WIN. NING!

Gaetz already gone. The revenge tour being dialed back. The fight that will reveal Trump's strength will be Bobby Jr.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

HIs 'library' will be a market emporeum with his gymcrack for sale.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

No, that absurd award is under appeal.

So? That won't change the fact that the fat rapist criminal raped her.

 

[Thunk]

Trumpsters don’t read and neither does Trump.

No...he only wrote THE ART OF THE DEAL, THE ART OF THE COME BACK...and others.

The American people didn't believe your lies. Cry harder.

 

[LeftofLeft]

It's not like he raped somebody or lead an insurrection.

What authority said it was an insurrection and/or that Trump led it? As for rape, gotta include Clinton and Trump under that criteria.

 

[whitehall]

It's not like he raped somebody or lead an insurrection.

He worked for a guy (Bill Clinton) was accused of rape. Does that make him a hypocrite or just a fool?
