Here’s Why Trump’s Defamation Suit Against George Stephanopoulos Is Doomed
In a Miami federal court on Tuesday morning, former President Donald Trump sued ABC News host George Stephanopoulos for defamation.
Trump alleges that, during an interview that aired March 10 with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) on This Week With George Stephanopoulos, the host repeatedly said that Trump had “raped” the writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump argues Stephanopoulos’ statements were false and defamatory and that Stephanopoulos should pay Trump money damages.
Trump is a fool, and his lawsuit is both legally flawed and doomed on arrival.
