Court denies ABC’s bid to dismiss Trump’s defamation lawsuit

Former President Donald Trump celebrated a significant legal victory Wednesday, July 24, when a Florida judge refused to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos. The lawsuit originated from an interview with GOP Rep. Nancy Mace, during which Stephanopoulos repeatedly claimed Trump was liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll.

If George was found liable for every lie he tells he would be living in a cardboard box on the street.

Trump should sue them for $800 million………

[Mgarguemare]

Now he needs to go after the whole panel on the View, CNN and MSNDC...GO TRUMP!!!

[micheleh]

Good! Little Georgie Porgie and his cast of cartoon characters need to be held accountable for their lies.

[HondaGuy-heyy]

It's about time talking heads in the media are starting to being held accountable for defaming people with baseless lies.

[ThorNado]

Trump has excellent reason to reject the ABC venue of the presidential debate.

[bindardondat]

Trump should not allow ABC to host a debate

[TenthCrane]

George made an unnecessary and dumb comment.
It's going to cost ABC.

[augustday]

It's ridiculous that someone can be found guilty of "sexual assault" over an event 30 YEARS AGO, with no evidence. How are you supposed to fight allegations like that? How do you prove you didn't do something 30 years ago?

[davidwomack]

Lawsuits against the careless media should be a norm. They get away with way too many lies, never learning.

[Susan-rxn]

That was sooo I was appalled when I saw that with George Stephanopoulos. If any news station needs to be sued it's ABC after that show. George just wouldn't shut up!

[CyanCerulian]

Disney owns ABC, and ABC owns the View.

[Rayo-qyjg]

Media, the greatest conspiracy theory ever

[shirleywascom]

Trump needs to sue the hell out of all of them.

[scottkozikowski]

Let’s not forget that George visited Epstein island many times

[michaelbabella]

It's about damn time ABC news gets its up and comings

[bratttt]

I pray he goes after Stephanopoulos personally. His homes and every thing he owns. Give him a high chair so he can testify.

[winstonchieng]

Sue all of them in the zillions. Time to make sure they pay up for their lies.

[leonardmacaulay]

Looks good on ABC and George should be retired anyway.

[jamese]

Stephanopoulos needs to pay! Sue baby sue!!
