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?
Trump seems to be asserting (i) that he owned the copyright on his part of the recording and (ii) that he gave Woodward only a (limited) verbal license for the use of those words.
It will be interesting to see it play out. As more facts are learned in the coming months, I am sure we will be doing more analysis.

It's probably mostly "performative litigation" in the sense that it's supposed to make a political point to relevant publics that he's fighting, that he has the right enemies, etc., and winning would of course be welcome, but not really the main point.
