Trump Pursues Murdoch

Donald Trump is pushing for a swift deposition of Rupert Murdoch in his $10 billion defamation case against the Wall Street Journal, citing Murdoch's age and health as critical factors. In a parallel political landscape, Pete Buttigieg urges Democrats to seek transformative change instead of reverting to old ways, especially in addressing transparency surrounding the Epstein scandal.
