Florida—Former President Donald Trump is suing journalist Bob Woodward over the use of phone interviews Woodward conducted with Trump.

In a lawsuit that could affect journalism, Trump alleges he didn’t agree the recordings could be included in an audiobook. 

Trump concedes that he consented to Woodward recording their conversations for the purpose of a book, and gave 19 interviews to the veteran journalist in 2019 and 2020, which Woodward included in his 2020 book “Rage.”

But 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 story was reported by The Hill.

Woodward gained a worldwide audience for his work with Carl Bernstein in covering Watergate.
