Rupert Murdoch's Legal Battle with Children Over Media Empire Control Intensifies

The 93-year-old media mogul seeks to secure conservative son Lachlan's dominance in News Corp and Fox, sidelining more liberal siblings.

Murdoch aims to amend the family trust to give Lachlan greater voting power, ensuring control over the media empire's direction.
James, Elisabeth, and Prudence Murdoch are contesting their father's plans, fearing a shift away from their more moderate views.
The legal dispute, which has been kept secret, is set to go to trial in September if no resolution is found.
Murdoch's move follows his retirement announcement last September, naming Lachlan as chairman of News Corp and CEO of Fox Corp.
Tensions within the family have escalated, with Murdoch's three children hiring legal teams to fight the changes.
