There are a few possibilities here. I originally thought trump might not sue due to the fact that it would allow the WSJ to depose....well....almost anybody, including Maxwell. And I was sure trump wouldn't want that. Then I realized that in true trump fashion he could file dozens of motions followed by appeals that could keep things from moving forward for years. And that may be the route he chooses.
Then we have to consider that Rupert just had to pay 800M to settle the Dominion suit. The best out for both trump and Murdoch is for the WSJ to settle for a reasonably small amount to end what will be a very costly process. Trump clams victory and WSJ gets off cheap.

@MoveAlong That is not a likely nor advisable scenario. No doubt, Murdoch was well aware Cry-Baby-trump was going to sue before the article was greenlighted by both Murdoch and his personal and corporate lawyers. It is likely this will go on for years as part of Cry-Baby-trump's performance to distract "the base."
FOX Noise had to pay $800 M to Dominion for over-aggressive news performers knowingly lie about Dominion (for which TuKKKer Carlson was fired... as popular as he once was). The Wall Street Journal is a legitimate news organization and clearly has evidence that Cry-Baby-trump does not want revealed. His suit has no merit; it's designed for performance only to try and throw "the base" off the trail.
Murdoch is not going to give up. Despite all his failings, he does care about the reputation of the Wall Street Journal and he has already shown he is not afraid to stand up to a junior varsity businessman at best and a child having a temper tantrum at worst. He is used to squashing children having temper tantrums... just ask his kids.
