ABC News agrees to contribute $15 million to Trump presidential foundation to settle defamation suit

ABC News agreed to contribute $15 million to President-elect Donald Trump's presidential foundation and museum to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Trump, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court on Saturday. 

Trump had accused ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos of acting "with actual malice or with a reckless disregard for the truth," after Stephanopoulos said that Trump had been "found liable for rape" in a March 10 interview with Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

Trump claimed in the filing Stephanopoulos "knows that these statements are patently and demonstrably false."
