Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday against ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos, accusing them of defamation. The complaint alleges that Mr. Stephanopoulos repeatedly stated during a program that a jury had found President Trump liable for the rape of writer E. Jean Carroll, despite the anchor’s being “aware of the truth.”
