Trump's Defamation Case Against ABC and Stephanopoulos Moves Forward

Federal judge allows lawsuit over rape liability comments to proceed, rejecting ABC's dismissal motion.

Trump's lawsuit claims defamation over Stephanopoulos' statements regarding E. Jean Carroll case.
Judge ruled that ABC's argument of substantial truth and collateral estoppel were insufficient to dismiss the case.
Trump inaccurately celebrated the ruling as a significant legal victory on social media.
The case will now proceed to trial where a jury will determine the defamation claims.
ABC News has not commented on the ongoing litigation.
