Summary
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos – in addition to deleting his X (formerly Twitter) account – failed to mention on his Sunday show, "This Week," that ABC News was ordered to pay $15 million to President Donald Trump's presidential library in a defamation lawsuit. The Sekulow team discusses the fallout for ABC News and Stephanopoulos, CNN helping to free a dangerous criminal from a Syrian prison, Richard Grenell's new post in the Trump Administration as Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, the Deep State FBI's corruption, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

| 0:28.6 | Welcome to Secula. We got a great show lined up for you today. Obviously, we're talking about the big news where President Trump was awarded significant amount of money, $15 million. We'll talk about where that money's going to go. |
