Trump and ABC News reached a $15 million settlement after George Stephanopoulos said on air that Trump had been found liable for rape.

A New York jury found Trump had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll but did not find that Trump was liable.

Trump has a long history of using litigation as an effective weapon against the media, and ABC 's decision was widely seen as an effort to avoid a lengthy and potentially embarrassing battle in court.
