NEW YORK — ABC News has agreed to disburse $15 million for President-elect Donald Trump's presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found liable for raping writer E. Jarn Caroll.
As part of the settlement made public Saturday, ABC News posted an editor's note to its website expressing regret over Stephanopoulos' statements during a March 10 segment on his 'This Week' program.
