President Donald Trump blasted ABC News host George Stephanopoulos during a Tuesday meeting with Argentine President Javier Milei.
« We’ll take a couple of questions from the news, and I’m sure they’ll be incredibly non-hostile, and friendly, like JD went through a very ‘friendly’ interview with George Slopadopoulos, » Trump said with apparent sarcasm, making fun of Stephanopoulos’ name.
Trump went on to reference the ABC lawsuit, joking, « He was nice enough to pay me $16 million the last time we came — he had to pay $16 million to me. Which is good. It was worth it. It was worth having somebody lie. If you get $16 million, that’s good. »
He then criticized the recent interview Vice President JD Vance had on the Disney-owned network.
« JD had a very nasty person interviewing him, and we can’t let that happen. Just is inappropriate to cut off a highly respected Vice President of the United States, mid-sentence. I guess it’s one way to win an argument. That was the only way he was gonna win the argument. It was pretty inappropriate, I wanna tell you that. »

Trump later declared that he wouldn’t take questions from « ABC fake news. »
During a Sunday interview, Vance sparred with Stephanopoulos as the vice president denied border czar Tom Homan accepted a bribe and accused the ABC host of losing credibility, leading the interview to abruptly end.
Stephanopoulos pressed Vance repeatedly on whether Homan accepted money and said Homan was « recorded on an audiotape in September 2024, an FBI surveillance tape, accepting $50,000 in cash. »
« I don’t know what tape you’re referring to, George. I saw media reports that Tom Homan accepted a bribe. There’s no evidence of that. And here’s why fewer and fewer people watch your program and why you’re losing credibility, » Vance said. « Because you’re talking for now, five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video that you’re talking about. »

After Vance suggested they move onto a different topic, Stephanopoulos objected and proceeded to end the interview.
« Peace in the Middle East? China threatening critical supply chains? Government shutdown? George S doesn’t care about that. He’s here to focus on the real story: a fake scandal involving Tom Homan, » Vance responded on social media after the interview.
ABC News didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
