Trump Cuts Deal With Rupert Murdoch Related To WSJ Lawsuit Over Epstein Story
Donald Trump and Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch on Monday struck a deal related to the president's lawsuit against the paper over its publication of a story detailing a 'bawdy' birthday message Trump allegedly wrote to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. While Trump had initially sought to have Murdoch deposed swiftly, citing, in part, his advanced age and long-standing health issues, the president has now agreed to remove that request, according to a Monday court filing first reported by Politico's Josh Gerstein. Trump sued Murdoch, the Journal's publisher and the reporters who authored an article the newspaper published last month reporting that the president wrote a lewd message to Epstein as part of an album British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell compiled for the disgraced financier's 50th birthday in 2003. Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Trump has denied writing the letter, attacking the newspaper for publishing its story and taking legal action over the report. Monday's agreement stipulates that until the 'Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Complaint is adjudicated, the Parties agree not to engage in discovery.' The filing, though, notes that if the defendants' motion fails, Murdoch shall be deposed in person within 30 days of that decision. The document states that Murdoch has three days from when the court approves the agreement to provide Trump with a sworn declaration describing his current health status. 'Defendant Murdoch has further agreed to provide regularly scheduled updates to [Trump] regarding his health, including a mechanism for him to alert [Trump] if there is a material change in his health,' the document states. 'Failure to provide updates in the agreed-upon manner as set forth in the Abatement Agreement shall result in an expedited deposition of Defendant Murdoch.' Trump last week told reporters Murdoch wanted to settle the case. 'They are talking to us about doing something but we'll see what happens,' Trump said. 'Maybe they would like us to drop that, so we'll see ... yeah, they're having, they want to settle it.' 'When I get treated unfairly, I do things about it,' he added. Related...

Fox Sees Q4 Profit Rise on Fox News, Tubi Results
Fox Corp. said high ratings at Fox News Channel and growing advertiser interest at its Tubi streaming service bolstered performance in its fiscal fourth quarter, with the company's focus on live programming, sports and news shielding it from some of the challenges its rivals are facing in an era when more consumers are using on-demand broadband for more of their video entertaiment. The owner of the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports said revenue in the period rose 6%, or $195 million, to $3.29 billion, largely on the strength of advertiser interest in Tubi and Fox News. Ad revenues rose 7% during the period, Fox said, while affiliate revenue rose 3%. More from Variety Fox Corp. Races to Collect Creators Before Rivals Can Do the Same Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales Near 6 Million Apple Services Revenue Grows 13% to New Record, Earnings Massively Beat Street Amid Trump Tariff Uncertainty 'We remain confident that our focused strategy, leadership position in key verticals and strong balance sheet will continue to deliver value to all shareholders,' Lachlan Murdoch, Fox's CEO, said in a statement. Fox said its fourth quarter net income came to $717 million, or $1.57 per share, compared with $319 million, or $.68 per share, in the year-earlier period. Excluding items, Fox reported adjusted earnings of $581 million, or $1.27 per share. While Disney, NBCUniversal and others have put many of their resources toward building out new streaming venues, Fox has maintained a hold in the linear world, still focused on drawing large, simultaneous audiences to everything from IndyCar racing to Greg Gutfeld's 10 p.m. program on Fox News Channel each weekday night. To be sure, Fox has launched streaming outlets, including Tubi and Fox Nation, but they are largely seen as complementary to the company's linear outlets — not a substitute for them. Those dynamics may be set to change. Fox intends to unveil a new streaming outlet, Fox One, in the next few weeks. The service will make its linear sports and news offerings — as well as other content — available via streaming, though Murdoch has said the company's intent is to court audiences who do not already have subscriptions to cable or satellite services and otherwise might not watch Fox programming. Revenue from Fox's cable networks rose 7%, or $94 million,. to $1.53 billion, owing to a $20 million hike in affiliate fees and a $50 million increase in advertising. Fox said it also saw $24 million in revenue from other sources, including Fox Nation subscriptions. Revenue from traditional TV operations rose 6%, or $92 million, to $1.71 billion. Fox said ad revenue rose $21 million, citing 'continued digital growth' at Tubi. Affiliate fees rose $29 million during the period.
