Judge dismisses Trump’s copyright lawsuit against Bob Woodward and audiobook publisher; CNN, July 18, 2025

, CNN ; Judge dismisses Trump’s copyright lawsuit against Bob Woodward and audiobook publisher

"President Trump’s lawsuit against journalist Bob Woodward and his publishing house Simon & Schuster was dismissed by a federal judge on Friday, the same day that Trump filed a new and unrelated suit against the Wall Street Journal.

US District Judge Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York gave Trump’s legal team a month to file another amended complaint. But for now, he dismissed the current iteration and said “it appears unlikely” that Trump “can adequately plead a plausible copyright interest in ‘The Trump Tapes.’”
