George Stephanopoulos signs new deal with ABC News amid Trump lawsuit turmoil

LA Times  

George Stephanopoulos has agreed to a new multiyear contract to remain with the ABC News morning program “Good Morning America.” “Good Morning America” co-host George Stephanopoulos, who is taking fire over Walt Disney Co.’s decision to settle President-elect Donald Trump’s defamation suit against ABC News, isn’t going anywhere. Stephanopoulos, 63, recently agreed to a new multiyear contract to remain with the ABC News morning program, according to several people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to comment publicly. The deal probably will quell rumblings of any long-term fallout over ABC News’ agreement to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library and $1 million in legal fees to settle a lawsuit over Stephanopoulos’ inaccurate on-air statement that the president-elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Trump sued after Stephanopoulos made the comment on a March 10 broadcast of his “This Week.” The judge in the case said that “the finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ 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.’ ” President Trump with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos at a town hall at National Constitution Center, on Sept. 15, 2020.
