ABC has agreed to donate $15 million to Donald Trump’s future presidential foundation or museum to settle claims that one of its anchors defamed the president-elect in describing a past court verdict against him.
The settlement was disclosed in a court filing on Saturday. The agreement came one day after a federal magistrate judge in Miami ordered Trump to appear in-person next week for a four-hour deposition.
