Two media companies settled with Trump rather than litigate: ABC News agreed in December 2024 to pay about $15 million to a future Trump presidential foundation plus $1 million in legal fees, and Paramount agreed in July 2025 to pay $16 million to settle his '60 Minutes' suit.

By Giselle Ruhiyyih Ewing Politico 12/14/2024 ABC News and anchor George Stephanopoulos reached a settlement with President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday, with the network agreeing to issue an apology and pay a Trump-related foundation $15 million in addition to $1 million for Trump’s attorney fees.The settlement, filed in federal court in Miami Saturday afternoon, marks a win for Trump, who sued the network and its star anchor for libel after Stephanopoulos said on air that Trump was found liable for the rape of writer E. Jean Carroll. Last year, a jury hearing a civil suit brought by Carroll found that Trump sexually abused and defamed her, but found Trump not liable for rape.
