A federal judge on Friday dismissed President Trump’s lawsuit against far-left author Bob Woodward over his audiobook.
In 2023, President Trump sued Bob Woodward for $49 million for releasing recordings of interviews he gave to him in 2019 and 2020.
Toxic RINO Lindsey Graham reportedly brokered the meeting with Trump and Bob Woodward.
Bob Woodward, a far-left author and Washington Post editor, released “The Trump Tapes” audiobook with more than 8 hours of his interviews with President Trump.
Woodward is a Deep State hack and has been an FBI asset since the 1970s.
Trump said he never agreed to the tapes being released to the public.
US District Judge Paul Gardephe, a George W. Bush appointee, dismissed the lawsuit.
“In a 59-page decision, Gardephe said Trump did not plausibly allege that he and Woodward intended to be joint authors of “The Trump Tapes,” saying Simon & Schuster credited Trump as a “reader” while crediting Woodward as the author,” Reuters reported.
“The judge, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush, also said Trump did not show he had a copyright interest in his stand-alone responses to Woodward’s questions,” Reuters reported.
“Gardephe also said federal copyright law preempted Trump’s state law-based claims. He gave Trump until August 18 to amend his complaint a third time,” Reuters said.
Trump’s spox said in a statment: “In another biased action by a New York Court, this wrongful decision was issued without even affording President Trump the basic due process of a hearing. We will continue to ensure that those who commit wrongdoing against President Trump and all Americans are held accountable.”
