In a revelation that has the liberal media’s spinning heads going into overdrive, Megyn Kelly has uncovered the awkward truth behind ABC News’ hush-hush $15 million settlement with President-elect Donald Trump’s legal team. The whole kerfuffle originated from a defamation lawsuit against the network and their dapper anchor George Stephanopoulos, whose comments on ‘This Week’ landed them in hot water. Surprisingly, ABC has remained tight-lipped about the settlement, and it seems Stephanopoulos pulled a classic media maneuver by avoiding any mention of it in his latest broadcasts.
The story gets even juicier. Kelly’s producer connected with Trump’s attorney, Alejandro Brito, who shed light on why ABC decided to cough up an eye-popping amount. Brito laid out the facts—ABC’s claims were not just questionable but were outright lies spun out of George Stephanopoulos’ own mouth. It’s almost comical how even a seasoned media figure like Stephanopoulos can get himself tangled in contradictions.
Brito drove home the point by revealing that Trump’s team had gathered video evidence showcasing Stephanopoulos’ confused statements about Trump’s civil trial related to E. Jean Carroll. In a classic case of “gotcha”, they had Stephanopoulos on tape admitting that Trump hadn’t been found liable for rape during an interview with Carroll herself. The blunders didn’t stop there; juxtaposition of his question to Carroll and the way he grilled Rep. Nancy Mace made it clear that he was in over his head. Trump’s legal team rightly concluded that these inconsistencies could have been a field day for jurors, allowing them to feast on ABC’s ratty credibility.
The big question remains: Did the fear of discovery—a delightful process where documents and evidence are exchanged—prompt ABC to throw down the cash? Brito hinted at that possibility, suggesting that the looming prospect of being exposed might’ve rattled ABC’s cage enough. The Trump team was poised to depose ABC’s bigwigs, including the ever-adorable Stephanopoulos. Given that ABC hadn’t even bothered to produce a relevant document worth mentioning, this put the network in a precarious position.

On top of that, Kelly suggested that ABC’s reticence likely stemmed from dread about what Trump’s attorneys might dig up. It was like witnessing a cat scampering off after being caught in the act—except this was a massive media organization trying to wiggle out of accountability. While the $15 million payout should suggest some serious dodging of bullets, ABC remains conspicuously silent. In true media fashion, Stephanopoulos wrapped up his latest episode of This Week without so much as a whisper about the lawsuit.
Perhaps the most ironic twist? ABC did serve up an editor’s note expressing regret for Stephanopoulos’ comments during an interview with Rep. Mace, blurring the lines between accountability and apology. It’s hard not to chuckle at how far ABC has fallen, caught between their liberal agenda and the truth. All in all, this entire mess reminds Americans of the lengths that the mainstream media will go to maintain their narratives—even if it means settling a lawsuit for a staggering amount to quietly sweep their blunders under the rug.
