  • ABC's $15m settlement in Trump 'rape' defamation case was met with surprise and outrage. Here's why - Trump claimed George Stephanopoulos defamed him when he said a jury found him 'liable for rape'

The article discusses the public and media reactions to ABC News' $15 million settlement with former producer Jill McClain, who accused the network of defamation after it aired an interview with E. Jean Carroll, who alleged she was raped by Donald Trump. The settlement amount was met with surprise and outrage due to its size, especially in light of ABC's initial dismissal of McClain's claims.
