Le Monde: ABC News agrees to give $15 million to Trump's presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit
ABC News has settled a defamation lawsuit with Donald Trump, agreeing to pay $15 million towards his presidential library and $1 million in legal fees. The settlement follows inaccurate statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos regarding Trump's civil liability in a case involving E. Jean Carroll.
The network issued an editor's note expressing regret over the misstatements. Despite the settlement, it covers only a fraction of the estimated costs for Trump's library, which may exceed $830 million. Trump is currently appealing two separate verdicts against him related to Carroll's allegations.

The Iranian rial has hit a record low of 756,000 to the US dollar amid rising inflation and concerns over Donald Trump's return to power, which may lead to renewed sanctions against Iran. The currency has lost over 90% of its value since US sanctions were reinstated in 2018.
Iranians are increasingly turning to hard currencies, gold, and cryptocurrencies as safe havens for their savings. The decline follows a UN resolution against Iran and geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding its nuclear program and threats to Israel.
