Not my area, so I have no clue if it’s frivolous. IF (if) trump and Woodward had an agreement that anything off the record or not approved by Trump would be released, was later released. Is there a cause of action?

Possibly.

IF Trump is correct in asserting that he owns a copyright in his own verbal words spoken during a journalistic interview (which seems questionable to me), it seems to me that he could attach whatever conditions he likes to the license for use of those words, including (theoretically) pre-approval AND/OR no release of the tapes themselves.

Does that make sense to you?

frivolous
At a minimum and based upon a VERY cursory look, it seems to me like he can clear that hurdle in this case.
