'Big win today!' Trump threatens media companies after favorable ruling in defamation suit

Donald Trump gloated after a Florida judge rejected a motion to dismiss his defamation lawsuit against ABC News and host George Stephanopoulos Wednesday.

Attorneys for the network and Stephanopoulos had asked a federal judge to throw out the former president's defamation suit based on a March interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) where the host asked her "more than 10 times" whether Trump had been found “liable for rape” in the E. Jean Carroll civil case.

But District judge Cecilia Altonaga allowed the case to move forward.
