President Donald Trump ramped up his threats of a lawsuit against his on-and-off ally, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, following The Wall Street Journal’s report about his alleged birthday card to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — saying he can’t wait to compel the right-wing news titan to testify.
His threats to Murdoch — whose massive News Corp media conglomerate owns the Journal as well as Fox News and the The New York Post, among other titles — follow the newspaper’s publication Thursday of a 50th birthday greeting that the president reportedly sent Epstein in 2003, which was described as including a sexually suggestive drawing and a birthday wish that says “may every day be another wonderful secret.”
