In a recent turn of events, President Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch have reached an agreement to delay Murdoch’s deposition in Trump’s lawsuit against him. The deposition will be postponed until after a ruling on the motion to dismiss the case. This agreement, detailed in a joint stipulation, allows for updates on Murdoch’s health, potentially accelerating the deposition if needed. The court filing indicates that if the dismissal motion is denied, Murdoch’s deposition will occur within 30 days.

Donald Trump changes his mind on Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit. Well, it seems like another twist has been added to the already tangled saga of the Trump-Epstein connection, specifically regarding the lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch. It looks like there’s been a shift in strategy, and, honestly, it’s not exactly surprising given the circumstances.
The core of the matter revolves around the dreaded “discovery” phase of the legal process. This is where things get messy, where potentially damaging information, including details about Trump’s alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein, could be brought to light. It seems like Trump’s legal team, perhaps after carefully reviewing the implications, realized that pushing forward with the lawsuit could open a Pandora’s Box of uncomfortable truths.
The fact that the lawsuit was targeting Murdoch, a media mogul with significant influence, adds another layer of complexity. There’s a sense that Trump wanted something from Murdoch, maybe to have a constant update on his health. The article suggests that it could be used strategically if Murdoch were to die. In a roundabout way, it seems like the lawsuit was a way to get updates about his health.
This situation really does point to the system’s deep problems. The entire lawsuit against Murdoch could have just been a smoke screen. The fact that Murdoch essentially called his bluff, potentially threatening to reveal even more, and Trump backed down speaks volumes. It’s a clear indication that Trump, despite his bluster, is wary of what might emerge during the discovery process.
The article references a Newsweek report that details how Trump’s legal team requested Murdoch’s deposition to be delayed. The reasons for this delay are transparent: Trump and his team want to avoid the disclosure of damaging information and the possibility of a full-blown investigation into his ties with Epstein. The legal documents requested “regular updates from Murdoch about his ‘current health condition’ in case of any changes that would necessitate an earlier deposition.” It would seem that Trump and his lawyers are trying to control the process in a way that is beneficial to them.
This isn’t just about legal strategy. It’s about reputation management, too. The longer this case drags on, the more attention is drawn to the Epstein scandal, distracting from all other issues that Trump is dealing with. The public deserves to know what the truth is.
The accusations have been made. Trump is being painted as someone who’s afraid of the truth. The whole Epstein affair continues to generate significant controversy, and it is one of the issues that he cannot seem to escape. It is also another reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability when it comes to people in high positions of power.
