Trump May Demand Murdoch Testify Within 15 Days Over Epstein Reporting

According to a report by Jinse Finance, citing foreign media, U.S. President Trump has requested that a judge order media tycoon Rupert Murdoch to testify in court within 15 days. This is part of Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its coverage of the Epstein case. Trump argues that, given the executive’s advanced age, it is reasonable for him to testify early. In a court filing on Monday, Trump’s lawyers stated that Murdoch should be required to answer preliminary questions so that these can be preserved for trial, even though the lawsuit was only filed last week. According to the documents, the 94-year-old Murdoch has experienced “multiple health issues” throughout his life and recently faced a health crisis. It was reported that earlier this year, Murdoch suddenly collapsed during a breakfast meeting with an executive in London.
