Accusations of Defamation Against ABC's George Stephanopoulos by Donald Trump
Rep. Nancy Mace accused ABC's George Stephanopoulos of trying to shame her for endorsing former President Trump in a heated interview. Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation after Stephanopoulos said several times on air that Trump was found liable for rape. Mace, a rape survivor, felt personally attacked during the interview. Trump representatives sought a retraction from ABC, but the news outlet failed to apologize or correct the record. Trump's team has requested a jury trial.
