Per Bloomber TV: Trump want Murdoch deposed within 15 days over Epstein story

"Taken together, these facotrs weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial", Trump's lawyer said in the filing in federal court in Miami.

"Trump, 79, sued July 18, accusing Murdoch, News Corp, and Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. of maligning his character in a story that said he'd once sent a suggestive birthday letter to the late, disgraced financier."

If they expect to win a summary judgment motion with just Murdoch’s deposition.

There are other defenses available, especially when public figures are involved. But ultimately, if the birthday card exists, or there is solid evidence that it DID exist, then Trump has nothing.

I wonder if Murdoch actually has a copy of that card and can prove it is legit.

Trump is evil and stupid. Murdoch is evil, but certainly not stupid. It is hard to imagine that Murdoch would have gone forward with the story without very strong evidence.

Is there a link or something that is missing?

"Taken together, these facotrs weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial", Trump's lawyer said in the filing in federal court in Miami.

What factors? He needs deposed within 15 days because he will be unavailable? Are they predicting he will fall out of a window or something?
