ABC News host George Stephanopoulos ignored the news about his network’s massive settlement with President-elect Donald Trump on his Sunday show.
Fox News Digital first reported on Saturday that ABC News and Stephanopoulos agreed to a settlement to avoid a costly trial over Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the network and anchor.
News of the settlement, however, failed to appear on ABC’s "This Week." Instead, Stephanopoulos focused on stories about unidentified drones over New Jersey, ongoing conflicts in Syria and Trump’s cabinet picks.
He also deleted his X account over the weekend.
Stephanopoulos was the focus of the lawsuit after he asserted that Trump was found "liable for rape" in a civil case during a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last March.
After playing a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, Stephanopoulos asked her, "How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?"
"You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape," Stephanopoulos said, alluding to the legal victory by Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll.
Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times during his spat with Mace, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for "sexual abuse," which has a distinct definition under New York law.
The "This Week" host was initially defiant against the lawsuit when asked about it in May, adding he would not be "cowed out of doing my job because of a threat."

BTTT
I hope he is an example to other equally trash mouth idiots who throw around claims they cannot support
I’m sure the little maggot has 14 million squirreled away somewhere 😁
It’s what happens when your mouth writes a check your a&^ can’t cash!!
The drones are delivering ABC cash and letters of apology to Trump. In spite of George not mentioning the settlement, everyone knows ABC and George have been groveling at Trumps feet.
Georgie boy was one of those guys who followed around the guys who followed Trump around to get those Trump’s crumbs lady wise.
Eupehemisms for ‘paid liar’: in politics, “spin doctor”; in network commentating, “host of ABC’s ‘This Week’ “.
This jerk has been scum ,since the Clinton days. All 4’8” of him.
Even Faux News refuses to surrender this obviously fabricated case.
Unless the settlement amount comes from his personal assets I doubt that this will impact many leftist talking heads.
Short man syndrome is real.
“Unless the settlement amount comes from his personal assets I doubt that this will impact many leftist talking heads.”
I have a solution that is a win-win for everyone. As retribution for his overt bias and crime against Trump, Stephy should be forced to wear a dress and host the View for three months. And every day, the show starts with him announcing the designer of that days wardrobe selection.
Disgraced Stephanopoulos now joins Dan Rather, Brian Williams, and other exposed Enemedia liars.
Georgie lied. Story at 6.
Abra cadabra!! Last half ounce of credibility…poof
What a coward. Is he now on BlueSky?
Republicans he interviews should always be prepared to throw George’s Clinton past in his face whenever he broaches the topic of sexual assault. There is an entire voting population who only know Stephy as a newsreader. They have no idea he ran an official Democrat campaign arm designed to smear women as sluts.
ABC hit with 15 million dollar bill because of this dwarf
