ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos is reportedly “apoplectic” and “humiliated” after Disney boss Bob Iger approved a $15 million (plus another mil for lawyers’ fees) settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation lawsuit against them.
The payout is a major embarrassment for the onetime Clinton aide and a vindication for Trump—and George is not happy about it:
Stephanopoulos, who claimed Trump had raped E. Jean Carroll during an interview with Republican lawmaker Nancy Mace, was particularly upset about being forced to apologize, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Another source told The Post that “George is defiant.”
A third source said Stephanopoulos “is a very guarded person. His circle of trust is so small, and a lot of them don’t work [at ABC anymore].”
As we’ve reported, the anchor and the network are being tight-lipped…
