    (The Hill) A Federal Judge On Friday Dismissed President Trumps Lawsuit Against Famed Watergate Journalist Bob Woodward For Publishing Audio
    Tapes Of Interviews He Conducted With Trump For A 2020 Book.

    U. S. District Judge Paul Gardephes Ruling Comes A Year And A Half After Woodward And His Publisher Asked The Judge To Dismiss The Suit. Trumps Attorneys Had Long Complained About The Lack Of Progress, Repeatedly
    Urging Gardephe To Rule.

    An Appointee Of Former President George W. Bush, Gardephe Rejected
    Trumps Arguments That He Is A Joint Author Of The Tapes And Ruled That
    Even If He Wasnt, The Interview Responses Are Protected Copyright.

    There Is Almost No Support In The Case Law For The Notion That An
    Interviewee Has A Copyright Interest In His Responses To Interview
    Questions, And Such A Conclusion Would Run Counter To Animating
    Principles Of The Copyright Act, The Judge Pushed Back.

    The Judge Also Dismissed Trumps State Law Claims, Ruling Those Were
    Preempted By Federal Copyright Law.

    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, A
    Spokesman For Trumps Legal Team Said In A Statement.

    Trump Sued Woodward In January 2023 After Giving Him 19 Interviews For
    His Book, Rage.

    The Lawsuit Conceded Trump Gave The Interviews And Permitted Woodward To
    Record Them, But The Complaint Claimed The Journalist And His Publisher
    Were Not Authorized To Sell The Audio Recordings Themselves.

    The $49 Million Lawsuit Named Woodward, Simon & Schuster And Its Then-
    parent Company, Paramount Global, As Defendants. Paramount Later Sold
    The Publishing Giant To A Private Investment Firm.

    The law allows the participants to make a contract about the tapes. TACO screwed up.
