On Monday, Donald Trump’s attorney in Florida submitted a request insisting that billionaire Rupert Murdoch be compelled to provide a deposition “within fifteen days.” This action comes as Trump pursues legal action against the Wall Street Journal for a article alleging Trump wrote an inappropriate 50th birthday card for Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

The motion from Trump emphasizes that given Murdoch’s age, being 94, along with his “numerous health challenges” and “close calls” experienced over the past five years, conducting an “expedited” deposition under oath is deemed suitable.

“[T]here is good cause to expedite Murdoch’s deposition, and the Court should exercise its discretion to authorize the same,” the motion for fast-tracked discovery says.

“Murdoch is 94 years old, has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares, and is presumed to live in New York, New York,” wrote Trump lawyer Alejandro Brito. “Taken together, these factors weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial.”

In the meantime, though, Trump is demanding crucial testimony from the owner of the Journal, whom Trump apparently failed to persuade not to publish the Epstein exclusive in the first place. The plaintiff insists that Murdoch has an “advantage” that Trump does not have, but that the scales would even out were an expedited deposition to occur.
