Donald Trump’s Florida lawyer on Monday filed a motion demanding that billionaire Rupert Murdoch be forced to sit for a deposition “within fifteen days,” as the president sues the Wall Street Journal over a report claiming that Trump composed a “bawdy” 50th birthday card for sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump’s motion notes that because Murdoch is 94 years old and has experienced “multiple health issues” and “scares” in the last five years, an “expedited” deposition under oath would be the appropriate course of action.

“[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.
