NEW YORK (AP) — ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million toward Donald Trump’s presidential library to settle a lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air assertion that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll.

According to settlement documents made public Saturday, ABC will also post a note on its website expressing regret over the claim in a March 10 segment on Stephanopoulos’ “This Week” program and pay $1 million in legal fees to Trump’s lawyer.

In a statement, ABC News said: “We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing.”

That 15 million is going straight into Donnie's pocket...

Sad to see ABC cave on this when Fox News never apologizes for anything...

The rich oligarchs fund the fascist leader and install them into office.

However, once in office the fascist leader demands a cut of all oligarch profits.
And controls them.

If the oligarchs complain, they tend to fall out of windows.

ABC's lawyers will hold the $15 million in escrow until trump provides proof that a valid 501(c)(3) entity is formed for a presidential library. I wonder what happens if trump never forms this entity.
