George Stephanopolous and ABC News have reached a new multi-year deal that will keep the longtime anchor on the broadcaster for the near future. The news comes amid fallout over the $15 million settlement ABC reached with President-elect Donald Trump over the weekend.
The Wrap reports the news should put an end to speculation that Stephanopolous, who is believed to earn $20 million a year, would be leaving the network. Details about the deal have not been made public.
“ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024,” Stephanopoulos and ABC News said in a statement Sunday.
Trump filed his lawsuit against ABC News and Stephanopoulos in March. The federal suit followed a heated discussion with Congresswoman Nancy Mace in which Stephanopoulos questioned Mace, an outspoken survivor of rape, about her endorsement of Trump.
