Former President Donald Trump is suing journalist Bob Woodward and his publisher for nearly $50 million over the inclusion of audio recordings of an interview the ex commander-in-chief did with the veteran reporter in an audiobook released last year.

Trump, 76, alleges in the lawsuit filed on Monday that he never agreed for 19 taped interviews conducted for Woodward’s 2020 book “Rage” to be included in the audiobook “The Trump Tapes,” published by Simon & Schuster Inc. last year.

“This case centers on Mr. Woodward’s systematic usurpation, manipulation, and exploitation of audio of President Trump gathered in connection with a series of interviews conducted by Mr. Woodward,” Trump’s lawyers argue in the 31-page filing.

The lawsuit claims that Woodward’s “Rage” book flopped compared to his previous Trump book, “Fear,” released in 2018, and in an effort “to exploit, usurp, and capitalize” off of the taped Trump interviews, Woodward decided after the release of “Rage” to package them into a new audiobook.

Unless Bob Woodward has something in writing, not only should Trump be suing him, he should be prosecuted for crimes.

I mean, the FBfrickINI raided James O'Keefe because he allegedly had Ashley Biden's diary, which had been legally aquired.

So, I mean, releasing tapes of a President without their consent should be a felony or something, right? Since we're just making up the new rules for the DOJ as we go.

Winning or losing this case will likely be determined from the terms and conditions of the contract signed between Woodward and Trump.

this is an attempt to limit the use of where trump admits he knows the then-current covid was deadly but he lied about it.

in the interview he says he lied to prevent PANIC!

how thoughtful and all this time i thought he lied to try to salvage the stock market which he perceived as a big winner for him in the coming election.

I'll never understand Trumps fetish for these journalists. He rails against them but them falls over himself to sit down with hacks like Woodward and Maggie Haberman.

It is well known that Bob Woodward is a Deep State mouthpiece.

If you sit down to discuss things with Woodward, assume that nothing is off the record.

Why would Trump voluntarily interview with the CIA?

I like the play. Now Bob Woodward becomes publc disscussion. Hoping Trump starts hammering the fact that the Watergate was all a setup and Woodward was hand picked for a reason.

By making Woodward a target, Trump can finally expose the true history of Bob Woodward and Bob's relationship with the intelligence agencies.

What third rate real estate attorney from Fla or Jersey is he using to file this sure to go nowhere, likely to get sanctioned case?

"Hello my fellow Americans. I make sure that Bob Woodward, Maggie Haberman, and other people that hate me, hate my agenda, and hate my voters, get more access to me than anyone else on the planet - including my kids! Ah, you gotta laugh sometimes. But seriously, I won't give Glenn Greenwald or Russel Brand some time to sit down, or go on Tucker, but I can always make time for Maggie and the New York Times.

Now I'm going to sue them because they published things I knew were being recorded. It's not fair! I know I said those things, but it's fake news. Horrible. Terrible people. Fake news media.

What's that, Maggie wants to sit down next Tuesday for 30 minutes? Sure, I'll give her an hour. Push my tee time back. Actually, just clear the schedule, she can come by for lunch, we'll talk the rest of the day, through dinner. Make sure the good chefs are working. Only the best, you know."

The destruction wrought on this country by Woodward and his buttbuddy Bernstein is difficult to overstate.

This is not to say that Nixon wasn't a putz. He was. But the transformative power over the practice and ethics of journalism that Woodward and Bernstein ended up having has been extremely malignant. They are held up as examples, and they are the opposite of what journalists should be.
