Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump has requested a federal judge to order a prompt deposition of billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch as part of his defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal.
The lawsuit stems from a July 17 article published by the newspaper regarding Trump’s relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump filed the legal action against the Wall Street Journal following the publication of the article earlier this month. The president is now seeking to expedite the process by having Murdoch, whose company News Corp (NASDAQ:NWSA) owns the publication, deposed quickly as part of the legal proceedings.
The request was submitted to a U.S. judge on Monday as Trump pursues his case against one of the country’s most prominent business newspapers.
