Trump sued Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal for libel after it published an article tying the president to a raunchy letter that was sent to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.

The president sued Mr. Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal for an article last month. The president’s lawyers had asked for Mr. Murdoch to be deposed within 15 days.

A judge approved Rupert Murdoch’s agreement to give Donald Trump regular updates on his health as part of a deal to delay the media mogul’s deposition indefinitely in a $10 billion libel suit the president filed over a Wall Street Journal report tying him to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
