‘Loose lips sinks ships’ moment here….
Donald J. Trump sat down with the Pultizer Price author for years running his mouth….
Woodward says he TOLD the idiot that he was recording the chats FOR A BOOK….
Woodward also releaased the tape’s in a audiobook, ‘ Trump Tapes’, which is what Trump is suing against….
Now Trump goes back to form ….
A ridiculous civil suit against someone that IS holding hbis feet to the fire?
Judges are routinely throwing out Trump ‘revenge ‘ suits and making him and his lawyers pay for them…..
The suit is of course filled in Florida where Trump would hope to get a ‘friendly’ judge?
The former president is arguing the agreement doesn’t cover the inclusion of those audio files in “The Trump Tapes,” an audiobook collection of the recordings published by Simon & Schuster Inc. last year.
The lawsuit, filed in the Pensacola division of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, names Simon & Schuster Inc. and its parent company Paramount Global as defendants along with Woodward. It seeks more than $49 million in damages.
“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 team argues in the filing.
“The Defendants’ ongoing concerted efforts to profit off the protected audio recordings and the works they have distributed derived from the protected audio recordings have caused President Trump to sustain substantial damage,” the suit continues…..
Note….
Maybe Woodward can make more MONEY off the suit’s encouraging book sales?
