President Donald Trump reportedly had a private dinner with Rupert Murdoch Tuesday, despite his ongoing $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal – which is owned by the billionaire media mogul.

The pair sat down together at the White House amid a legal back and forth that has been going on for over six months, an official and a person familiar with the meal told CNN’s The Source.

The Independent has contacted the White House and Murdoch via News Corp representatives for confirmation and comment on the reports.

Murdoch, 94, owns News Corp, which operates hundreds of local, national, and international publishing outlets around the world including in the U.S.,, such as The WSJ and Fox News. Tensions between Murdoch and Trump apparently began last July after the president launched a massive lawsuit against The WSJ over an article exposing his alleged ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

1. Murdoch must be miffed at the fact that he has given him the entire Fux Nooze channel and Dump's still upset

What else could he want? He gives him a whole channel of morons and liars good at controlling his weird narratives and fascist policies in the minds of their stupid, willfully misinformed viewers. Some people are never satisfied.

4. Probably

waiting for him to bring a steamer trunk of 100's and gold bars with him to work out a compromise........just like he has done with every other Corporation/Billionaire........

Then loaded on AirForceOne when going to some foreign country, and "disappeared" to his offshore accounts he set up during Covid.............along with Ivanka and Jared doing the same during the Covid crisis, to be sure.......
