5:28Now PlayingTrump TACO’d OUT on his Friendship with Epstein
Hawk discusses the civil lawsuit Donald Trump filed against Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, stemming from a story involving Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book and a sketch allegedly linked to Trump. Though the Wall Street Journal never claimed Trump wrote the contents, the lawsuit opens the door to something far more revealing: federal court depositions.
Hawk focuses on how civil cases move swiftly in federal court, especially through the discovery process, where both sides must exchange relevant evidence—including witness testimony. As part of that process, both Trump and Murdoch would be required to sit for videotaped depositions under oath.
What makes this particularly significant is that Trump’s lawsuit has made his long-documented friendship with Jeffrey Epstein a central issue. And if the case proceeds, Trump could be forced to answer detailed questions about his relationship with Epstein—on camera, under oath, and with the potential for public release.
Hawk explains how Trump has been pressing for Murdoch’s deposition, citing the media mogul’s advanced age. But now, facing the possibility of his own deposition, Trump’s legal team is requesting to delay the process. It's a classic case of legal strategy meeting unintended consequences, and Hawk lays out what might come next.
This is a moment that could have major ramifications—not just legally, but politically—as Trump’s ties to Epstein may finally face serious public scrutiny in a courtroom setting.
