Trump was found liable - guilty - of sexual assault by a jury. That is true, even if the charge was not rape. It was however adjudicated to be rape by the judge. It seems to me you're splitting hairs here. Trump is a well known serial sexual assaulter, by his own admission. There is evidence he's guilty of statutory rape at Jeffrey Epstein's private island enclave.

What is the objective of your comment? To tear down and discredit Stephanopoulos? Sure seems that way. It also seems you're attempting to absolve Trump in some way. And here is another unassailable fact; Trump and his minions are targeting the press, journalists and independent media, to silence them and censor all critical reportage and criticism they don't like, as all authoritarian regimes do. To silence dissent. Frankly, you sound like an apologist for that project, which is substantiated by your assertion regarding ABC's capitulation.

Is there a distinction in the legal system between sexual assault and rape? Language has been degraded to such an extent that we miscommunicate regularly. Precise use of words and terms lend clarity to communication, everyday speech and the media.
