Donald Trump has found a new avenue to sue the media: Copyright. He filed a lawsuit in federal court on Monday, alleging that Bob Woodward and his publisher, Simon & Schuster, needed his permission before releasing the audio book, 'The Trump Tapes'
Trump claims that 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 damages, necessitating the institution of this action.”
Trump is seeking at least $49.98 million in damages. He also wants a judge to declare that he owns the interview sounds recordings, a number of which were conducted in the Oval Office.Trump is no stranger to suing media figures, often with lawsuits quickly dismissed. A defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, filed by the Trump campaign in 2020, was tossed out on the grounds that what was written was non-actionable opinion.
Earlier this month, Trump and his attorney were ordered to pay nearly $1 million in court sanctions by a federal judge who said that they had engaged in a “continuing pattern of misuse” of the courts. The judge, Donald Middlebrooks, had dismissed a lawsuit Trump filed against Hillary Clinton and 30 others, but he also cited the CNN case and litigation against the Pulitzer Board and Twitter as examples of the “widespread and persistent conduct” of suing people.
