The agreement comes amid speculation about his future with the network after parent company Disney paid $15 million in a legal settlement over comments Stephanoupolos made about Trump during a 2024 interview.
The libel lawsuit revolved around the anchor saying Trump was “found liable for rape” in the case with writer E. Jean Carroll.
The jury ruled Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll. However, the jury found Trump not liable for rape.
Several reports said ABC’s settlement blindsided Stephanopoulos.
His new contract with the network comes as Disney is reportedly looking to trim costs, which follows a current trend among media giants. Many are scaling back amid a shift in the industry.
