Trump Name-Drops ‘Slopadopoulos’ Lawsuit In Jab At ABC, Former DNC Chair

President Donald Trump trashed ABC News in a Sunday post on his Truth Social platform, criticizing the network specifically for giving air time to former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Donna Brazile.

Trump referenced the recent lawsuit against ABC News and Democrat strategist-turned-anchor George Stephanopoulos — which he won, to the tune of $16,000,000 — and suggested that Brazile’s coverage might leave the network vulnerable to another similar lawsuit.

“Why does Fake News ABC’S This Week With George Slopadopolus have Low IQ ‘commentator’ Donna Brazile on the show?” Trump asked in his post. “Wasn’t she totally discredited when she gave Crooked Hillary Clinton the questions to a Debate??? Wasn’t she FIRED by Fake News CNN for so doing??? Why would ABC ‘News’ hire such a dumb retread?”

“Check out her disastrous interview with Megyn Kelly from years ago — A total Classic!!! Donna is dumb as a rock, and a liar besides,” the president continued. “She, and Sloppy Chris Christie, should be fired from a highly discredited ABC Fake News. They just paid me $16,000,000 for ‘inaccurate’ reporting, now they should pay me more!!! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT.”

Trump’s post came within hours of Brazile’s appearance on Sunday morning’s broadcast of “This Week,” where she had criticized Trump’s tariff plan and claimed that it had “created a level of uncertainty that the American people can’t afford.”

She also lashed out at the president for rescinding Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris — a privilege that former President Joe Biden had extended her in his final days as president — and claimed that Trump was only stripping her security detail because he was “petty” and “vindictive.”

Brazile, as Trump noted in his post, left her previous position as a commentator at CNN after it was revealed that she had passed details about debate questions to twice-failed presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 presidential debate held in St. Louis, Missouri.
