Trump threatens to put Rupert Murdoch on the stand: 'An interesting experience!'
Donald Trump doubled-down on his threat to sue The Wall Street Journal over its bombshell story on his intimate relationship with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
On Truth Social, the president posted Friday, "I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his 'pile of garbage' newspaper, the WSJ. That will be an interesting experience!!!"
Murdoch is the media-magnate owner of the WSJ, Fox News, and hundreds of other outlets.
Thursday night, the WSJ dropped a report that Trump joined other celebrities to send a "bawdy" birthday letter to Epstein in 2003 that's "framed by the outline of a naked woman," according to the outlet.
"A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly 'Donald' below her waist, mimicking pubic hair," WSJ reported.
The message included the salutation, "Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret," according to the WSJ.
Trump reportedly tried to squash the story from publication before it dropped.
