Former President Trump sued ABC News and George Stephanopoulos on Monday, alleging defamation over the anchor’s questioning of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) about her endorsement of Trump.
The March 10 interview on “This Week” made headlines after Mace, a rape survivor, accused Stephanopoulos of trying to “shame” her by probing why she endorsed the former president despite juries’ recent verdicts against him in advice columnist E. Jean Carroll’s sexual battery and defamation lawsuits.
Trump’s lawsuit takes aim at how Stephanopoulos at multiple points in his questioning said Trump had been found “liable for rape.” The jury had found Trump liable for sexual abuse under New York law, but not rape.

Thoroughly disgusting for rape shaming Rep. Mace. He has never had an honest job, I don't believe.
Trump is right to sue for defamation.
With our current “justice” system he will not win.
He couldn’t even win against Christopher Steele; Trump wound up having to pay money to him.
It is about time.
So many media personalities have faded away, ranting all the way to obscurity, terminal cases of TDS.
Somewhere, there is a black-robed meathead “judgey” sitting on a porcelain throne who hopes he/she/it/they/them gets to throw this lawsuit out of court and boot Trump in the ass again.
New York Times v Sullivan was wrongly decided. Even so I think he has them dead to rights on this one. My recollection is that the first jury specifically found he did not commit rape
When Donald Trump wins the presidential election in 2024 the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS should be granted zero press access to the White House.
How soon he forgets----George's onetime boss,
Clinton had to pay Paula Jones for a similar offense.
GS is a sleazy little punk.
Disney/ABC is a big kahuna, but I don’t believe they’re swimming in money at the moment as they try to spin off some of their properties.
Do they want to risk another 1/4 B defamation hit ?
This maybe the slander that sees Georgy cut loose.....aka. Tucker/FOX. or O’Riley/Fox.
In addition to slander, George Stephanopoulos and ABC/Disney executives are guilty of illegal political contributions-in-kind and should be required to pay back every penny of them.
I that he should ask for $464 million.
I’d put the damages at around $90,000,000.00 plus court costs and attorney’s fees.
Yes. Plus lawyer fees.
Way to nail it, Liz. When I think of Stephy I think of the movie Cell Block 99, lol.
I actually shook Georgy boy’s hand at the graduation ceremony of my daughter 2003, Columbia University. ( recruited for field hockey, a 4 year starter held record for assists(14) for years.
When I shook his hand, I quipped,”all of want to know is, what did you know, and when did you know it?”, he flipped, eyes bugged out! I winked, smiled and retorted, “ why, fugetabouit “.

He also helped Hillary tamp down Bill’s “bimbo eruptions”.....
but never paid the price for his anti-women activity.
They are probably suing in NY since that is where ABC is located. They should pull one out of the Dems book. Just as one of Trump’s cases is being tried in DC because the network he made his comments on is available in DC, they should try it in Texas because ABC is available in Texas and he was harmed in Texas as a result
Why TX?
File the suit in Alabama or Oklahoma.
