The Spin

Republican narrative

Trump's request for Murdoch's expedited deposition is justified given his direct involvement in the defamatory publication. Trump would not be moving forward if he wasn't certain the story was false, and the media needs to learn a lesson when it comes to these baseless smears. the president warned Murdoch the letter was fake before publication, yet the Journal proceeded anyway.

Newsmax

Democratic narrative

Trump's intimidation of the media continues apace, especially as they report on his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Media organizations have been quick to settle bogus lawsuits from him to spare themselves from his wrath and weaponization of the government, and forcing a man in his nineties to testify on such a short schedule is surely part of that tactic. The freedom of the press is severely jeopardized in the Trump era.
