This is a total capitulation of the highest order. A complete and total failure of the free press.
JUST IN: A day after Trump and George Stephanopoulos were ordered to appear for depositions, they settled the case.
ABC has agreed to make a $15 million contribution to Trump presidential museum/foundation and air an apology for mischaracterizing the E. Jean Carroll verdict.
