Former President Donald Trump is facing a barrage of legal battles, racking up significant legal bills since his election in 2016. He is currently suing major media outlets like ABC and CBS for defamation and election interference. Trump recently settled a lawsuit with ABC News for defamation over false statements made by anchor George Stephanopolous. The network agreed to publish a statement of regret and donate $15 million to the Trump Presidential Library. Trump is seeking $10 billion in damages from CBS News for allegedly doctoring an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris on “60 Minutes.” He has also filed a lawsuit against an Iowa pollster and newspaper for misleading poll results. Additionally, Trump has been involved in defamation lawsuits, including a recent case where he was ordered to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll for defaming her. He is also appealing a ruling in New York that he owes a hefty fine for overvaluing his real estate holdings. Despite these legal challenges, Trump has had some victories, such as the dismissal of federal criminal cases regarding the 2020 election results.
