ABC News will give $15 million to Trump presidential library in order to settle defamation lawsuit

ABC News will give $15 million to President-elect Donald Trump's presidential library in order to settle a defamation lawsuit. 

This lawsuit came as a result of anchor George Stephanopoulos inaccurately claiming that Trump was found civilly liable for raping E. Jean Carroll.

The network is also expected to post a note on its website apologizing for the claim, according to The Associated Press.

Right after the segment of Stephanopoulos' claim in March, Trump sued the anchor and the network. 

Trump's attorney will also get $1 million in legal fees as a result of the settlement. 

The story was first broken by Fox News Digital.
