march 19 2024 Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos for defamation after the ABC News host said several times on air that the former president was "found liable for rape" during a heated March 10 interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C.

Mace, a rape survivor, says she felt personally attacked when Stephanopoulos, a former top aide to President Bill Clinton, asked how she could support Trump's White House bid. Stephanopoulos said Trump was found "liable for rape" 10 times during the exchange.

A federal jury in New York decided that Trump was not liable for rape but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation in the 2023 civil trial of advice columnist E. Jean Carroll vs. Trump. The former president has called the verdict a "disgrace," and denied all wrongdoing.

ABC NEWS' GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS INACCURATELY SAID TRUMP WAS FOUND ‘LIABLE FOR RAPE’ 10 TIMES, LEGAL GURUS SAY

The lawsuit, filed Monday in Florida, claims Stephanopoulos' statements are "false" and were made with "actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth given that Defendant Stephanopoulos knows these statements are patently and demonstrably false." The court document then noted that a jury "expressly found that Plantiff did not commit rape."
 
In May 2023, a federal jury found Trump liable in a civil lawsuit for sexual abuse of Carroll but not for rape. In a later ruling, Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote that even though Carroll did not prove Trump raped her “within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape.’”
“Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that,” wrote Kaplan, who oversaw both of Trump’s lawsuits with Carroll.

It was a civil trial, you moron. No proof beyond reasonable doubt. THINK
 
Had ABC news on this morning and no mention of this. They gave wall-to-wall coverage to the pathetic e jean carroll suit against trump for calling her a liar after she called him a rapist on no evidence.
 
Trump cannot win. He was labeled a rapist in court. He lost to Carroll in court. Trump is playing his followers again.
