The news portal quoted Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin as saying the cabinet was united in thinking that the law should take its due process.
In the report, Khairy said at the Cabinet meeting today, Najib told them that he was still considering legal action against WSJ.
As such, Khairy said that they will wait for the task force set up to investigate the matter to come up with its findings.
"Until the taskforce comes up with the results of the investigation, it is still too premature to comment," Khairy reportedly said.
Yesterday, WSJ posted documents online that detailed the money trail.
Despite growing calls for Najib to step aside pending investigation that the monies were credited into accounts under his name, retired attorney-general Tan Sri Abu Talib Othman has said there is no legal requirement to compel the prime minister to do so.
He, however, said the task force consisting of the Attorney-General's Chambers, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), police and Bank Negara Malaysia must complete its task as soon as possible as it involved a sitting prime minister.
