| Appeals court spares Trump from paying $83 million defamation award to E Jean Carroll ‐ for now |
| 2026-05-13 |
| [MSN - Ay Pee] What was OBVIOUSLY a Trump-damage effort President Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to a request by one of Trump's lawyers that it let the president delay the payment to E. Jean Carroll, though it required that Trump post a $7.4 million bond to cover any additional interest costs, a request Carroll's attorney had made. The appeals court late last month refused Trump’s request for a rare meeting of the full 2nd Circuit to hear an appeal of a three-judge panel’s affirmance of the January 2024 verdict. Afterward, Trump attorney Justin D. Smith asked the 2nd Circuit to stay the effect of its decision upholding the award so that Trump would not be forced to pay the judgment before the high court has a chance to consider an appeal. Smith said last week there was a “fair prospect” that the Supreme Court will find in favor of Trump, who has called Carroll’s claims first made publicly in 2019 that she was sexually attacked by Trump in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996 a “made up scam.” The $83 million award to Carroll, 82, came from a jury that briefly heard Trump testify and observed his animated behavior for several days. In upholding the verdict, a 2nd Circuit panel wrote last September that Trump continued his attacks against Carroll for at least five years, making them “more extreme and frequent as the trial approached.” “He also continued these same attacks during the trial itself,” the appeals court said. “In one such statement, issued two days into the trial, Trump proclaimed that he would continue to defame Carroll ‘a thousand times.’ ” The jury had been instructed to accept the findings of a jury that in May 2023 awarded Carroll $5 million after concluding Trump sexually abused her in the department store and then defamed her after she published her account of it in a 2019 memoir. Trump is challenging the $83 million award on several grounds, asserting “absolute immunity” for comments he made while president as he disavowed knowing Carroll and attacked her motivations, saying they were politically driven or arose from a desire to promote her memoir.

| ABC News had a 75-person division dedicated to 'get' Trump, Billy Bush claims |
| 2026-04-07 |
| Former TV host Billy Bush alleged ABC News had an entire "division" dedicated to "get" Donald Trump during the 2016 election. "ABC News had a division. They had a division dedicated with 75 people in it — because I knew the guy who ran the division, which was dedicated to basically getting him," Bush said on Thursday's installment of the "Hang Out with Sean Hannity" podcast. The Disney-owned network has had a long, contentious relationship with Trump. In 2017, ABC News was forced to retract a report alleging that fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn would testify that Trump had ordered him to make contact with Russians about foreign policy while Trump was still a candidate. The report raised the specter of Trump’s impeachment and sent the stock market plummeting. Brian Ross, the chief investigative correspondent behind the false report, was later forced out of the network. In December 2024, just weeks before Trump was sworn into office for his second term, ABC News paid a $16 million settlement to Trump after he filed a defamation lawsuit earlier in the year for comments made by "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos. |

| Trump files 'powerhouse' $10 billion lawsuit against BBC over documentary editing his Jan 6 remarks | ||
| 2025-12-16 | ||
| [FoxNews] President Donald Trump filed a monster $10 billion lawsuit on Monday against the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) for its 2024 "Panorama" documentary that distorted his Jan. 6 remarks. Trump sued the BBC for both defamation and for a violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act for $5 billion apiece, as the president is seeking $10 billion total. The suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida Federal Court, was filed in a personal capacity and names BBC and BBC studios productions as defendants. "The formerly respected and now disgraced BBC defamed President Trump by intentionally, maliciously, and deceptively doctoring his speech in a brazen attempt to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election. The BBC has a long pattern of deceiving its audience in coverage of President Trump, all in service of its own leftist political agenda. President Trump’s powerhouse lawsuit is holding the BBC accountable for its defamation and reckless election interference just as he has held other fake news mainstream media responsible for their wrongdoing," a spokesperson for Trump’s legal team told Fox News Digital. Trump is represented by attorneys Alejandro Brito, Edward Paltzik and Daniel Epstein. The BBC has come under intense scrutiny over the documentary about Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech delivered before the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Critics claim the documentary was wildly misleading because it omitted Trump's call for supporters to protest peacefully. The lawsuit states: "The BBC, faced with overwhelming and justifiable outrage on both sides of the Atlantic, has publicly admitted its staggering breach of journalistic ethics, and apologized, but has made no showing of actual remorse for its wrongdoing nor meaningful institutional changes to prevent future journalistic abuses." A BBC spokesperson told Fox News Digital: "As we have made clear previously, we will be defending this case. We are not going to make further comment on ongoing legal proceedings." The BBC previously issued an apology for the erroneous edit and said it had pulled the program from its platforms, but a spokesperson for the broadcaster added, "While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim." The controversy began with a bombshell report from The Telegraph that featured excerpts from a whistleblower dossier compiled by Michael Prescott, a communications advisor hired by the BBC to review its editorial standards. The whistleblower revealed that a BBC Panorama documentary released last year had a misleading edit of comments Trump made during a rally speech given on Jan. 6, 2021, as he protested the results of the 2020 presidential election. The documentary omitted Trump urging his supporters to protest "peacefully" and instead spliced two separate comments made nearly an hour apart, making him appear he was calling for violence. "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol. And I'll be there with you. And we fight — we fight like hell," the documentary showed Trump saying. In reality, Trump said, "We're gonna walk down to the Capitol. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them because you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong." It wasn't until 54 minutes later that Trump called on his supporters to "fight like hell" for election integrity. The New York Times referred to the ordeal as "one of the worst crises in its 103-year history" of the BBC. The blunder led to the resignations of BBC News CEO Deborah Turness and BBC director-general Tim Davie. The 46-page court filing states that the documentary "has gained substantial traction and republication across various media in the United States and elsewhere globally" and the BBC "used their false and defamatory publications to maliciously disparage and damage President Trump and impugn his reputation." Trump’s legal team suggested the defendants "timed the publication of the Panorama Documentary to be close in time to the 2024 Presidential Election" and the value of the president’s "personal brand alone is reasonably estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars." "Business ventures bearing his name generate hundreds of millions of dollars of annual revenue. Moreover, the injury to President Trump’s business and personal reputation inflicted by these Defendants, and their efforts to falsely, maliciously, and defamatorily portray President Trump as a violent insurrectionist, continue into the present, thereby causing massive economic damage to his brand value and significant damage and injury to his future financial prospects, in addition to continuing to harm his reputation as President of the United States of America," the suit states. Trump is seeking a jury trial.
In December 2024, ABC News made a $16 million settlement with Trump and issued an apology after anchor George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed that Trump was found "liable for rape" in the president's civil court case against columnist E. Jean Carroll, when in fact, a New York jury found him liable for sexual abuse. In July, Paramount made a multimillion-dollar settlement with Trump after he accused CBS News of "election interference" over its handling of a "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the lead-up to the 2024 election. While CBS News offered no apology or admitted to any wrongdoing, it did implement editorial reforms requiring the raw transcript of all presidential candidates to be released. Trump also reached settlements with Meta, X and YouTube (owned by Google) and has pending lawsuits against The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Des Moines Register and veteran pollster Ann Selzer.

| Trump announces $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times for defamation, libel | ||
| 2025-09-16 | ||
Trump announced the lawsuit late Monday on Truth Social and said it would be brought in Florida. This marks yet another legal action taken by the president against a major media organization after forcing settlements with ABC News and CBS News over the past year. "Today, I have the Great Honor of bringing a $15 Billion Dollar Defamation and Libel Lawsuit against The New York Times, one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the History of our Country, becoming a virtual 'mouthpiece' for the Radical Left Democrat Party. I view it as the single largest illegal Campaign contribution, EVER," he wrote. "Their Endorsement of Kamala Harris was actually put dead center on the front page of The New York Times, something heretofore UNHEARD OF!" Trump accused the Times of engaging in a decadeslong campaign of "lying" about him, his business, family, and the MAGA movement. "I am PROUD to hold this once respected 'rag' responsible, as we are doing with the Fake News Networks such as our successful litigation against George Slopadopoulos/ABC/Disney, and 60 Minutes/CBS/Paramount, who knew that they were falsely ‘smearing’ me through a highly sophisticated system of document and visual alteration, which was, in effect, a malicious form of defamation, and thus, settled for record amounts. They practiced this longterm INTENT and pattern of abuse, which is both unacceptable and illegal. The New York Times has been allowed to freely lie, smear, and defame me for far too long, and that stops, NOW! The suit is being brought in the Great State of Florida. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for Florida’s Middle District. The named defendants are the New York Times Company, reporters Susanne Craig, Russ Buettner, Peter Baker and Michael S. Schmidt, and Penguin Random House, which published "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success," which was authored by Craig and Buettner. The New York Times endorsed Harris in 2024, no surprise in that its editorial board leans sharply to the left and has not endorsed a Republican for the White House since 1956. In its explanation, the board began by panning Trump as dangerously unfit rather than praising Harris. "It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest," the board wrote. The 85-page lawsuit called the endorsement "deranged" and also said "Lucky Loser" was a false and defamatory book. In 2023, a judge dismissed a lawsuit that he brought against the New York Times in 2021 for its prior reporting on his finances and claims he'd engaged in suspect tax maneuvers. The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, whose liberal editorial boards were set to endorse Harris last year, ultimately didn't offer endorsements after being overruled by their respective billionaire owners. The moves infuriated progressive staffers and prompted resignations and subscriber losses. Trump has already secured eight-figure settlements over suits he filed against ABC News and CBS News over the past year. ABC agreed to pay $15 million last December as a charitable contribution to a future presidential museum or foundation to settle Trump's defamation lawsuit. The suit was prompted by anchor George Stephanopoulos repeatedly saying on the air Trump had previously been held liable for rape, rather than sexual abuse. Trump also launched an "election interference" lawsuit against CBS over its "60 Minutes" interview of Harris last year, saying its editing decisions amounted to deceiving the public. Ahead of a planned $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, CBS parent company Paramount settled the lawsuit in July to a total that could be upwards of $30 million. Both settlements brought howls of outrage from liberals and free speech proponents who said corporate media owners had capitulated to frivolous suits, while Trump's supporters said he was finally bringing liberal media outlets to heel.

| Muslim Leader Calls for Killing Americans And Their Leaders |
| 2025-06-12 |
| [News With Views] Sa’ad bin Atef al-Awlaki, the newly appointed leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), has issued a call for all of the 4.5 million Muslims living in America to kill Americans and their leaders. Start date: Sat., June 14. Flag Day for America, when a giant parade is planned in Washington DC. Donald Trump has stated that Iran is ’much more aggressive than just days ago.’ The man calling for violence follows in the tradition of the Muslim leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, martyred in 2011. Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the leading English-language propagandist for al-Qaida, was killed in an American drone strike in 2011. According to the Combating Terrorism center at West Point, his influence has lived on, enhanced by his status as a martyr for Islam in the eyes of his admirers. His death, during Obama’s first term, was the first deliberate killing of a US citizen by his own government via presidential order. (emphasis mine) Ok, a hunch here. Might this killing have been perpetrated by our own Muslim in the White House at the time, as the ultimate ta’qqia (lie) to get reelected? Obama knew that this act would make the man into a martyr, and strengthen, not weaken the Islamist cause. It would also serve the purpose of "clearing up" the skepticism about Obama’s "true faith". In a 2008 interview with George Stephanopoulos, you may recall, Obama referred to his "Muslim faith", which he quickly corrected. All sources remind us that Obama has since "consistently identified as a Christian" Whatever. Let’s get on to business. Here, from World Population Review, is the 2025 population — BY STATE — of Muslims in America. |

It was one simple question,” the man says as Mace began filming. “Do you want to keep going? You want to keep harassing me?” she hit back during the video. “You could have gone to a dozen town halls last year.” Related: Nancy Mace 12/15/2024 George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump, are forced to pay $15 million to settle defamation suit Nancy Mace 12/13/2024 Trump hopes to keep winning when he takes ABC News, CBS News to court over alleged 'dishonest reporting' Nancy Mace 12/11/2024 Capitol Police arrest suspect after allegedly assaulting Rep Nancy Mace |

| Former President Bill Clinton, 78, hospitalized |
| 2024-12-24 |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former President Bill Clinton, 78, was hospitalized Monday and is undergoing testing after developing a fever. Angel Urena, Clinton's former deputy chief of staff, wrote on X that the former president was admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., but is doing 'fine.' 'He remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.' Urena added that the former president hopes to be home and out of the hospital in time for Christmas. He said that Clinton was receiving care as a precaution after developing a fever. It is 'not an emergency situation,' according to reports. Clinton's health has been in the spotlight in recent years as the once-vibrant Democrat has noticeably aged. In 2021, he was also hospitalized after a urological infection spread to his bloodstream. He also underwent quadruple bypass heart surgery in 2004 and had a procedure to open an artery six years later. He's been in the spotlight in recent months as he promotes his new memoir 'Citizen' and hit the campaign trail for Kamala Harris.

| George Stephanopoulos reacts to ABC's $16 MILLION defamation settlement with Trump | |
| 2024-12-19 | |
 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is said to be 'apoplectic' and 'humiliated' following the network's decision to pay $16 million to settle a defamation lawsuit between ABC and Donald Trump.The settlement, which includes $15 million towards a presidential foundation and $1 million for Trump's legal fees, has sparked a firestorm within the Disney-owned news organization. Stephanopoulos, a former aide to Bill Clinton in the 1990s, was particularly incensed at being compelled to issue a public apology, according to the New York Post. Insiders explained how the veteran anchor remains 'defiant' amid the fallout. 'George is a very guarded person. His circle of trust is so small, and a lot of them don't work [at ABC anymore]. He felt cornered and blindsided,' one insider said. The anchor's frustration with the network couples both the personal and professional strain the episode has taken on him - and it appears to have boiled over as he has since deactivated his X account, cutting ties with his more than 2.3 million followers. The decision to settle has also left many ABC News staffers seething. 'It's front-page news everywhere, yet ABC doesn't report on itself,' one employee said. A lack of internal communication from company bosses has only served to fuel resentment following recent layoffs across multiple departments at the network. 'It's another gut punch. The sheer level of embarrassment—people are furious,' a staffer lamented. The lawsuit stemmed from a March interview during which Stephanopoulos erroneously claimed Trump had been found liable for the rape in a civil case of writer E. Jean Carroll. In that case, a jury actually found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages. However, the jury did not conclude that Trump had committed rape as defined under New York law. Stephanopoulos' phrasing - referring to Trump as being 'found liable for rape' -became the crux of the defamation suit. Trump argued the statements were made with 'malice' and disregard for the legal distinction that the jury's verdict did not meet the state's specific definition of rape. During the interview, Stephanopoulos pressed Mace, saying: 'Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.' | |

 [FoxNews] ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a Trump presidential foundation and museumABC News and its top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network paying the president-elect $15 million. The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a costly trial. According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a "Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past." Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump's attorney fees.
ABC News said the network was "pleased" to have concluded the case.
Trump filed a defamation suit against Stephanopoulos after he asserted that Trump was found "liable for rape" in a civil case during a contentious interview with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., last March. After playing a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, Stephanopoulos asked her, "How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?" "You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape," Stephanopoulos said, alluding to the legal victory by Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll. Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times during his spat with Mace, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for "sexual abuse," which has a distinct definition under New York law. After the federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape, Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in a later ruling that just because Carroll failed to prove rape "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.’" | ||

| Trump hopes to keep winning when he takes ABC News, CBS News to court over alleged 'dishonest reporting' |
| 2024-12-13 |
| [FoxNews] Trump seeks legal wins against ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, CBS’ ’60 Minutes’ President-elect Donald Trump is not letting up in a pair of high-profile lawsuits against ABC News and CBS News, even after his resounding White House victory last month. Trump is suing ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos for defamation over on-air remarks he made earlier this year. Trump is also suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its interview in October with Vice President Kamala Harris. Both lawsuits remain active and ongoing with a pre-trial discovery hearing set for Friday in the suit against the Disney-owned outlet, while the CBS suit could potentially impact an enormous media merger. "President Trump will continue to hold those who have committed, and are committing wrongdoings, accountable for blatantly false and dishonest reporting, which serves no public interest and only seeks to interfere in our elections on behalf of political partisans," incoming Trump White House communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital. The first lawsuit stems from comments ABC's Stephanopoulos made in March when he asserted that Trump was found "liable for rape" in a civil case. Stephanopoulos' comments were made during a tense exchange with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., on his Sunday program "This Week." After playing a clip of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, Stephanopoulos asked her, "How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw?" "You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape," Stephanopoulos said, alluding to the legal victory by Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll. Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times during his spat with Mace, despite the fact that a jury actually determined Trump was liable for "sexual abuse," which has a distinct definition under New York law. After the federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, but not rape, Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote in a later ruling that just because Carroll failed to prove rape "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.’" The suit against ABC recently saw the start date for a jury trial pushed from April 2025 to June 2025 after both sides sought extensions. U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Lisette M. Reid issued a protective order last month urging parties to engage in "disclosure and discovery which may involve, among other things, the production of documents and information deemed confidential, including confidential newsgathering, research, or commercial information, and personal information of parties and third parties," an "entry of a protective order pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is necessary to protect such information that may be produced or provided by the parties or non-parties" whereas "good cause exists for entry of a protective order of confidentiality." ABC stood by Stephanopoulos following the interview. Pre-trial discovery hearings have been set for December 13 and December 19. Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against CBS came when he accused the network of practicing "deceptive conduct" for the purpose of election interference in its "60 Minutes" interview with Harris. Correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Harris why it seemed like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn’t listening to the United States. However, the vice president’s lengthy answer that aired on Oct. 6 didn’t make the version that aired the following night on "60 Minutes" and a shorter, significantly more focused answer to the same question was shown instead. CBS insisted it was edited down for time, but Trump’s legal team feels otherwise. Trump attorneys said the complaint is due to "CBS’ partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public." They also argued the edits were done in an effort to "attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party as the heated 2024 Presidential Election — which President Trump is leading — approaches its conclusion." "President Trump brings this action to redress the immense harm caused to him, to his campaign, and to tens of millions of citizens in Texas and across America by CBS’s deceptive broadcasting conduct," the lawsuit states. Last week, CBS filed a motion to dismiss over "lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim," according to a court document obtained by Fox News Digital. CBS’ legal team pushed to dismiss the suit with prejudice over a variety of reasons, including the claim that Trump’s "attempt to punish defendants for their editorial judgments is barred by the First Amendment." There has been no further action since the notion to dismiss was filed.
