A federal judge in New York has dismissed a complaint President Donald Trump filed against journalist Bob Woodward, publisher Simon & Schuster, and then-parent company Paramount Global, over their use of taped interviews in an audiobook product Woodward produced.

On July 18, U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York granted the defendants a motion to dismiss the case Trump had brought against them.
