A court docket appears to indicate that President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch for libel. However, insiders reported that the legal complaint is not yet filed. The court document shows Trump as a pro se plaintiff, which is unusual given his access to personal legal representation. The docket also includes personal addresses of Murdoch and a journalist involved. An hour after its appearance, the docket did not feature an actual lawsuit, suggesting abnormality in the proceedings.
The docket, which appears in federal court in the Southern District of Florida, did not include an actual lawsuit an hour after it first appeared.
A person close to Trump's legal team told Business Insider that the president has not yet filed his lawsuit over The Wall Street Journal report, and that his legal complaint is still in the works.
The Miami court docket features odd details. It says that Trump is a pro se plaintiff - meaning someone who is not being represented by a lawyer - even though Trump has many personal lawyers.
The docket also appears to show the personal addresses for Murdoch and for one of the journalists who wrote the story, who are designated as defendants.
