Donald Trump Files Defamation Suit Against ABC News, George Stephanopoulos After Host Accused Him of Rape
Breitbart ^ | 03/19/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 03/19/2024 11:22:28 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit in federal court Tuesday against ABC News and its network anchor George Stephanopoulos, alleging his reputation was besmirched by Stephanopoulos’s claim that a jury found Trump “liable for rape” in the E. Jean Carroll case.

The incident occurred during Stephanopoulos’s interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on March 10. Stephanopoulos said during the interview, “Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape. How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?”

Neither Stephanopoulos nor ABC News issued a correction or apology as of Tuesday morning.

Pretty much slander by steffy.

The jury totally acquitted Trump of rape in the carroll case.

As much as I’d love to see him be successful, I think this will quickly be a loser. The phrase George used was that Trump was “found liable for rape,” which as far as I know is what the judge decided. Consequently, it can’t be defamation if he’s simply citing/quoting the judge’s finding.

When I heard George S. say that, my mouth gaped.

When Nancy Mace was on Charlie Kirk’s show a while back, CK played the clip. I was shocked. Glad PDJT is fighting back.

You are correct. If a conservative called a rat a rapist it might fly.

Hopefully he files it a a red district with 90% repbilican voters....sorta like the exact opposite side of what New York has been doing to him.

I’d love to hear the leftists all of a sudden squeal about the inability to receive a fair trial due to the venue.

Did you see the interview?

It was defamation. It was bullying. He would not let it go. The main Clinton slanderer of all Clinton’s many rape accusers calling Trump a rapist on Sunday morning talk.

Thought: Trump leaves no stone unturned.

Concerns: How many wars can he fight at once and still run for Pres?

Why doesn’t sue that woman Jean Carroll or whatever her name is, or did he?

It would not be a big surprise if a good investigative reporter did a little digging and found out that she was put up to this by the democrats.

Maybe Trump can seek damages of $454,000,000.00, or at least the same amount they awarded E Jean Carroll, $97,000,000.00?

Stephy is the guy who coined the phrase ‘Bimbo Eruption’. Of course, that was back in his Clinton days when he was tasked with running interference for Bill’s dalliances.
