In a bombshell revelation, leaked footage has exposed media tycoon Rupert Murdoch making startling remarks about former President Donald Trump, the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, and current US President Joe Biden's mental acuity.
The video, obtained by Independent, captures the 92-year-old News Corp chairman during what appears to be a private conversation at his California vineyard last summer. Murdoch's candid comments have sent shockwaves through media and political circles.
Murdoch on Trump: "Not a Nice Person"
In the footage, Murdoch delivers a scathing assessment of the former president, stating bluntly: "He's not a nice person, to put it mildly." This surprising critique comes from the media mogul whose Fox News network was widely seen as supporting Trump's presidency.
Epstein Connection Raises Eyebrows
Perhaps more controversially, Murdoch appears to downplay Epstein's criminal activities, suggesting the convicted sex offender "wasn't a bad person to know." These remarks have drawn sharp criticism from victim advocacy groups.
Concerns About Biden's Cognitive Health
The billionaire also weighs in on President Biden's age and mental fitness, questioning whether the 80-year-old Democrat can effectively campaign for re-election. "Biden's old, no question," Murdoch is heard saying in the recording.
These revelations come at a sensitive time for Murdoch's media empire, which has recently undergone significant leadership changes at Fox News. The footage raises fresh questions about the political influence of one of the world's most powerful media figures.
