President Trump and Rupert Murdoch’s lawyers have agreed to delay Trump’s team, hoping media tycoons will be listed as part of the president’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
Trump’s legal team last month asked Murdoch, whose News Corp quickly proved the Journal in 2007, citing his age and health issues.
But in the filings filed with the court on Monday, the parties agreed not to move forward and collect evidence, which put any opportunity for the 94-year-old conservative media tycoon on hold on the pledge testimony temporarily.
Trump sued Murdoch and the Daily last month, reporting a birthday letter in the newspaper, and the president allegedly sent convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an allegation Trump denied.
Trump’s lawsuit against the journal is the latest in a series of legal battles he has fought against media companies and news outlets in recent months.
The president raised $16 million in payments last month from media giant Media Giant Paramount to resolve his lawsuit against CBS News filed in a “60 Minute” interview with then-Vice President Harris and successfully lobbying Congress to draw millions of dollars from public broadcast sites like NPR and PBS.
Trump and Murdoch have built a expected relationship over the years, and the lawsuit has been closely watched to test the power dynamics between the two.
