Trump has struggled to contain political fallout from his administration's handling of the Epstein case and reports about his relationship with the late billionaire have persisted throughout the controversy.

President Donald Trump has sought a court-ordered deposition of Rupert Murdoch as part of his ongoing defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The president specifically asked that the court set the timeline for Murdoch's deposition to 15 days, Reuters reported.

Trump has struggled to contain political fallout from his administration's handling of the Epstein case and reports about his relationship with the late billionaire have persisted throughout the controversy.

Trump promptly condemned the story and filed suit against the paper, which Murdoch owns.

“Trump has struggled to contain political fallout from his administration’s handling of the Epstein case”
The only political fallout has been the spectacle of Democrats making themselves look like idiots. The guy died 6 years ago. “Epstein Epstein Epstein” is the new “Russia Russia Russia”.

“...reports about his relationship with the late billionaire have persisted throughout the controversy.”

I don’t know about John Solomon’s website. That statement is a crock. I have to admit, Bondi’s handling of the case is puzzlingly incompetent. Beyond understanding for a serious person to do.

Didn’t Trump call for release of the files during the campaign?
