Former President Donald Trump is suing ABC, ABC News and George Stephanopoulos, claiming defamation over comments by the ABC host during an interview.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday sued ABC, ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos, claiming comments made by Stephanopoulos during a recent interview were defamatory.In the interview, Stephanopoulos asked Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican, about the two juries that awarded the writer E. Jean Carroll a combined $88.3 million in damages stemming from her claim that Trump sexually abused her decades ago and committed defamation in denying the attack.

'Why did the judge say Trump 'in fact did 'rape'' Carroll?Carroll sued in November 2022 under New York State's Adult Survivors Act, which for a one-year period eliminated the state's statute of limitations for sexual assault claims. Her suit was filed in federal court but made claims under New York's penal code, which has a narrower definition of rape than the federal standard.
