A federal judge has thrown out President Donald Trump’s $50 million lawsuit against veteran Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward.

Woodward, world-renowned for breaking the Watergate scandal with his colleague Carl Bernstein, published interviews with Trump in 2022 in an audiobook called The Trump Tapes. The project drew on nearly 20 interviews between Woodward and the president from 2016 to 2020, and included 27 letters exchanged between Trump and North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un.

Trump sued Woodward and Simon & Schuster, which published the tapes, in January 2023, arguing that the tapes violated his copyright. He claimed that he told Woodward that the interviews were meant solely for his book, the 2020 bestseller Rage, rather than an audiobook. Woodward said he never agreed to the restriction.


Presumably, audiobooks would be more accessible to many of Trump's followers.

Trump rarely seems to have competent legal advice.
Business law 101, always best to get things in writing.

I think he sometimes gets competent legal advice and ignores it, if it doesn't fit his wishes.
