A magistrate judge in Florida has ordered President-elect Donald Trump and ABC News host George Stephanopoulos to appear for depositions this month as part of an ongoing lawsuit between the two.

Earlier this year, Trump sued Stephanopoulos and ABC News, alleging that the “This Week” host defamed him when he stated during an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) that a jury found Trump liable for rape.
