“A federal judge on Wednesday denied ABC News and George Stephanopoulos’s motion to dismiss former President Trump’s lawsuit claiming the anchor defamed him in a March interview.
The ruling enables Trump’s suit against the network and Stephanopoulos to move forward over the anchor repeatedly stating on-air while interviewing a lawmaker that the former president had been found “liable for rape” in a lawsuit brought by advice columnist E. Jean Carroll. The jury had found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape.
In a 21-page ruling issued on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Cecilia Altonaga rejected several defenses ABC mounted to Trump’s suit, including that they were protected by a fair reporting privilege.
Trump cast the ruling as a “big win,” calling the anchor “liddle’ George Slopadopolus” in a post on Truth Social.
“Before you know it, the fake news media will be forced by the courts to start telling the truth,” Trump wrote.
Trump’s defamation claims concern Stephanopoulos’s March 10 interview of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) on “This Week.” While questioning the congresswoman about her endorsement of Trump, Stephanopoulos stated 10 times that a jury had found Trump liable for rape.
The federal lawsuit, filed in Miami, seeks an unspecified amount of damages.”
