He joins an increasingly crowded field hoping to take control of one of South Carolina’s Senate seats.

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. The Wall Street Journal, for its part, recently published an article about a 2003 birthday card sent to Epstein that allegedly bore Trump's name.

Trump promptly condemned the story and filed suit against the paper, which Murdoch owns. Though formerly somewhat aligned, the pair have long since broken with one another, largely due to Trump's high-profile attacks on Fox News, another of Murdoch's networks, over what he perceived to be an editorial bias against him.

Linda may be annoying and she's quite flamboyant but overall she's pretty solid.

She was great in defending Kavanaugh when the Democrats tried to destroy him during the Supreme Court confirmation.

Regarding Ukraine, Linda is right about Putin. Trump tried to make a deal with Putin but that didn't work.

“And flooding the primary so he gets the plurality”

Plurality is isn’t good enough in South Carolina, otherwise there’s a runoff.

Light Loafers still isn’t going to lose, barring a miracle, but there’s a chance he’ll have to endure a runoff in which case we might get lucky.

Think Freddy Mercury.

**Let Dan go Forth......**
Funny.

Cut the crap. Linda is a heavyweight-just ask him. He’ll win both the primary and the general.

Ask Donald Trump Jr. his opinion of Lindsey Graham.

Let’s just say, it ain’t good.
