"the des moines register," they don't have the worry. that'll be thrown out very quickly. cws news -- [laughter] -- cbs news,for their edits, what they did in the edit bay on "600 minutes," doing what 60 minutes has been doing f like, 60 years. >> this is a moment as well for those who claim to be journalists, you're not

this settlement relates to a particularly heated interview that george stephanopoulos did on his sunday week back in march with a republican congresswoman and during that interview george stephanopoulos repeatedly said that donald trump had been found liable for rape of ejean caroll back in the 19905 — she's a journalist. in fact, what the new yorkjury had found donald trump liable for was sexual abuse and that has a particular legal definition under new york law, and donald trump sued abc over that interview. what's now emerged is that the two sides have settled that suit and abc have agreed to pay donald trump $15 million which will go towards a presidential library. they're also going to cover his $1 million in legalfees and they're also going to publish a statement on their website expressing regret over the comments that george stephanopoulos made. now, that brings this civil suit to an end but donald trump is also involved in a number of other ones. he is suing the legendary washington journalist bob woodward over the publication of one of his books involving donald trump, and don

so when george stephanopoulos said rape, you know, trump argues that is factually inaccurate.andard for proving defamation is extremely high under american law. and because trump is a public figure, he would have had to demonstrate that the statement was factually false and that stephanopoulos knew that it was false when he made it. and one thing that... so was there...are you suggesting, then — sorry to interrupt — that if abc had chosen to defend, it would have had a case and it would have been quite hard for donald trump to win this? yeah. i think that abc had a number of very strong defences, especially given this high standard. i mean, one big fact was that the judge in this case held that trump, in considering the justification for the damage award, the judge held that the common use of the term rape and, in fact, the definition of rape under other jurisdictions, including under federal law, would cover the conduct that trump was found liable for engaging in. i think there would also be the question of whether he was additionally defamed by saying rape versus sexual abus

there was a defamation case against abc news and anchor george stephanopoulos over the issue of him referring to the president-elect being found liable for rape. there is debate over whether that term was used loosely, or was it accurate to say that. that was the crux of the matter in this case. i know there are media lawyers who felt that case was winnable but it was settled out of court for a judgment. $16 million. that is unfortunate. again, it is a matter of interpretation whether that was 100% accurate or not. that is the kind of thing that would have been adjudicated if the case had gone further. ♪

there was a question what george stephanopoulos was saying. stit's striking to me this dmr, this des moines registrar lawsuit because it's so terrible and dumb. it's dumb, dumb, dumb. it seems to be a mish mas. he very clearly wants to put the press on notice i'm going to come and get otyou, but then he has this victory in the abc thing, he also has this absolute mess in iowa. my response as much as it is this is donald trump and we're going to get in situations where he gets in situations that simply don't work the way he wants to. >> the fact he's getting $15 million from abc on a lawsuit maybe it has more merit on a des moines rej star piece but has a deterrent. the other piece are the billionaire newspaper owners now finding themselves in mar-a-lago and not newspaper owners but mark zuckerberg at meta. people who control this information in the 21st century are increasingly bending a knee to trump. they may on their own like patrick at "the new york times" may decide we're going to change the editorial focus in this newspaper or they may b

there was this real question of what it was that george stephanopoulos said. but i'm a polling expert so it is striking to me that this lawsuit going to the des moines. because it is so terrible and dumb. it is a dumb, dumb lawsuit. as articulated so it seems to be a mishmash. he absolutely very clearly wants to put the press on notice. but then, well, he does have this victory in the abc thing. he has this absolute mess in iowa. and so, me as someone sitting back and read this this morning, my response is less like oh my gosh, he is coming to get us so much as it is that's right. this is still donald trump. and we will get situations where he does something that just simply doesn't work the way he wants it to work. >> the thing that feels different is the preemptive capitulation. the fact he is getting $15 million from abc from a lawsuit that maybe had more merit than the des moines piece. the other piece is the billionaire newspaper owners finding themselves in trump's inner sanctum at mar-a-lago. not just newspaper owners but mark zuckerberg at meta. they a

stand on, the idea of donald trump winning a defamation lawsuit would require the improving george stephanopoulos knew that statement was being false, he was doing so with intention. they were arguing, was almost impossible to prove. >> i agree with them, they are completely right, there's a reason defamation cases are so hard to bring, you have to show actual malice, show that the people making the statements knew that it was false and willingly doing so to try to defame the person in question. trump would have had a hard time winning this case. the issue is, does not matter if the jury in question granted trump's filing, if they agreed stephanopoulos had defamed him. the process of discovering, getting all the emails out from abc, you remember the dominion lawsuit after the 2020 election with fox news had to turn over so many documents that were straight up embarrassing as to how they handle themselves. abc probably did not want to go through that. they decided to kick this over to a future presidential library foundation which honestly, the fact they get to then say they are giving it to chari
