President Trump is suing ABC and Clinton sycophant George Stephanopoulos for defamation after Stephanopoulos referred to Trump several times as a rapist. Worse than that he claimed that Trump was a convicted rapist. Trump was never convicted of rape. The trial was over defamation of character. Defamation is sometimes hard because you have to prove malicious intent, but in this case, it is easily proven. The trial was in the news constantly and yet Trump was never convicted of rape, a charge he has denied constantly.
In an interview with Rep Nancy Mace Stephanopoulos tried to get Mace to condemn Trump for the rape of E Jean Carroll. Carroll cannot recall anything pertaining to a rape. The only thing she was certain of is what she was wearing. That turned out to be a lie since the dress she claimed she was wearing had not been made yet. Mace then talked about the rape she suffered when she was18.
Mace said:
“It’s a shame you will never feel, George. I’m not going to sit here on your show and be asked a question meant to shame me about another potential rape victim. I’m not going to do that.”
Stephanopoulos then tried to say he wasn’t trying to shame Mace for being a rape victim then he once again said that Trump was a rapist. The lawsuit, filed by Brito, PLLC on behalf of President Trump, seeks to address the damaging impact of the corporation’s actions on his reputation and character.
According to the complaint:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELGeorge Stephanopoulos, during the airing of his weekly television show, This Week With George Stephanopoulos, falsely stated on several occasions that [Trump] had been found liable by multiple juries for the rape of Ms. E. Jean Carroll.

Indeed, the jury expressly found that [Trump] did not commit rape and… Defendant George Stephanopoulos was aware of the jury’s finding in this regard yet still falsely stated.
Defendant Stephanopoulos made these defamatory statements, which were communicated and published to third parties, within the scope and course of his employment or contractual relationship with the other defendants with intent to harm Plaintiff given that, inter alia, Defendant Stephanopoulos was and is aware of the truth regarding the determinations made by the subject juries, and also because his defamatory statements appear to have been prepared in advance, and were written on notes that he was reading from while making these defamatory
statements.Defendants American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. and ABC News, Inc. participated in the publishing of the false and defamatory statements made by Defendant Stephanopoulos and/or otherwise authorized, approved, or consented to Defendant Stephanopoulos making the false and defamatory statements about Plaintiff.
