Trump Says He Looks Forward To Rupert Murdoch's Testimony In Epstein Letter Lawsuit

President Donald Trump said Friday that he’s eager to see Rupert Murdoch testify in connection with the lawsuit Trump filed against him.

In a post on Truth Social, he said it will be an “interesting experience.”

The President’s comments come after he threatened to sue The Wall Street Journal for printing a fake letter from Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, the now deceased high-profile sex offender.

In another post, Trump denied having written the letter and told Attorney General Pam Bondi to request a court release of the transcripts of all grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.

Shortly after Trump’s statement, Attorney General Bondi said on social media that the Justice Department was ready to ask the court on Friday to unseal the grand jury transcripts. “President Trump – we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts,” Bondi wrote.

According to The Wall Street Journal report, Trump allegedly sent a risque letter to Epstein that featured a drawing of a naked woman. The story said the note to Epstein bearing Trump’s signature was part of a collection assembled for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003.

Trump has been under fire from supporters to release the ‘Epstein Files,’ which are a collection of documents previously reviewed by the Justice Department in its investigation of Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump had suggested the documents could contain a so-called “client list” that Epstein allegedly used to blackmail influential individuals. At the time, Trump hinted that the files would be made public if he were to return to office.

But earlier this week, the President appeared to shift course. In a post on Truth Social, he urged supporters to stop focusing on the case, following a Justice Department statement that said it had found no such list and that no additional Epstein-related records would be unsealed.

U.S markets were mixed on Friday morning. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) edged 0.04% higher while the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) fell 0.35%. The Invesco QQQ Series 1 Trust (QQQ), which tracks the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, was down 0.04%. On Stockwits, retail sentiment around SPY remained in ‘bullish’ territory.
