Read the Trump-ABC ruling.
Trump has denied Carrolls claims and is appealing the verdicts.
During the interview, Stephanopoulos played a video in which Mace said that she was a victim of rape.
Stephanopoulos first asked Mace, You endorsed Donald Trump for president.
Judges and two separate juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming the victim of that rape.
How do you square your endorsement of Donald Trump with the testimony that we just saw?
Mace said to Stephanopoulos, Ive lived for 30 years with an incredible amount of shame over being raped.
I didnt come forward because of that judgment and shame that I felt.
And it is a shame that you will never feel, George.
Stephanopoulos continued to question Mace on the point, while denying that he was attempting to shame her.
ABC had no immediate comment.
