US EditionTrump, Murdoch Agree to Delay Deposition in WSJ Libel Lawsuit
UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – The deposition pause follows a joint agreement pending a judge's ruling on a motion to dismiss in Trump's $10 billion defamation suit against Murdoch and News Corp.
- On Monday evening, President Donald Trump and Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch agreed to postpone Murdoch's deposition until after the Journal's motion to dismiss the $10 billion defamation lawsuit is heard.
- Last month, President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit after the Journal reported he sent Epstein a 'bawdy' birthday letter, which Trump denies as 'fake'.
- Under the stipulation, Murdoch must provide a sworn health declaration within three days, and if the motion fails, he shall be deposed in person within 30 days at a mutually agreed location.
- Despite citing Murdoch’s health, Trump agreed to drop his request for an expedited deposition, with failure to update triggers an immediate deposition.
- The potential wait for depositions could span several months, as judges may take time to rule on the dismissal motion, amid criticism over Epstein investigative files.
