(Reuters) -Donald Trump said on Tuesday the Wall Street Journal and its billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch want to settle the U.S. president's defamation lawsuit against the newspaper.
On July 18, Trump sued the Journal and its owners, including Murdoch, over a story, which said Trump's name was on a birthday greeting for late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, that included a sexually suggestive drawing and a reference to shared secrets.
