Meanwhile Trump is being sued by that s..t bag weasel Stephanopoulos for defamation. Unbelievable that his suit has legs and Trump must do a deposition.
I thought Trump was suing Stephanopoulos, as Stephanopoulos continued to say that Trump was guilty of Rape when the charge was not rape. That wacky lady that accused Trump of sex in the store’s dressing room.
Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation. Here’s what to know about his claim.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday sued ABC, ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos, claiming comments made by Stephanopoulos during a recent interview were defamatory.
In the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, about the two juries that awarded the writer E. Jean Carroll a combined $88.3 million in damages stemming from her claim that Trump sexually abused her decades ago and committed defamation in denying the attack.
What did Stephanopoulos say?
During a March 10 interview with Mace, Stephanopoulos said, “Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape,” among other references to Trump being “found liable for rape.”
What is Trump alleging in his lawsuit?
In Trump’s complaint, he accuses Stephanopoulos of acting “with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth,” and claims that Stephanopoulos “knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false.”
In order to prove defamation of a public figure, Trump must prove not just that the statement was incorrect, but that Stephanopoulos met the heightened standard of actual malice, showing that he had knowledge the statements were false or acted with reckless disregard of whether they were false or not. Trump has to prove actual malice by “clear and convincing evidence.” He also must show that Stephanopoulos harmed his reputation.

How could you possibly defame that little weasel?
