re: Trump sues Bob Woodward for nearly $50M over release of interview recordings

That's not really how it works. If a reporter tapes an interview, and captures both on the record and off the record banter - with an agreement in place on how those recordings can and will be used - the onus is on BW to honor the agreement or get sued. He's literally trying to profit off of the release of tapes that may not be his IP.
