George Stephanopoulos recently conducted a tense interview with Vice President JD Vance, pressing him repeatedly about allegations that White House border official Tom Homan accepted a $50,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent. Stephanopoulos asked Vance if Homan kept or returned the money. Vance denied the bribery accusations, calling the story a "ludicrous smear" and accusing Stephanopoulos of focusing on a fabricated scandal while ignoring larger issues facing the country. When Vance tried to change the topic, Stephanopoulos abruptly ended the interview. President Donald Trump criticized Stephanopoulos's interview style, calling him a "very nasty person" for cutting off Vance mid-sentence and disparaging ABC News as "fake news." Trump sarcastically referred to Stephanopoulos as "Slopadopoulos" and mentioned a previous lawsuit where ABC and Stephanopoulos had to pay Trump $16 million to settle a defamation suit. Trump said he would no longer take questions from ABC due to what he described as unfair treatment of the Vice President during the interview.
