Lawyers for President Donald Trump asked a judge on Monday to order Rupert Murdoch to sit for a deposition soon in Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit accusing the media mogul of defaming him in a Wall Street Journal article about a ‘bawdy’ birthday letter to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, CNBC reports.
Said the lawyers: “Murdoch is 94 years old, has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares, and is presumed to live in New York, New York. Taken together, these factors weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial.”
