Donald Trump tried to sue The Washington Post for defamation for reporting in 2016 on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. He asked Trump's lawyers if they wanted to amend their complaint to give more information that could actually be litigated, and it appears that Trump's lawyers were unable to do it. The second piece that the Trump lawyers went after was a 2020 opinion piece. It might run into trouble because Trump never filed a copyright for Woodward's tapes. When Woodward compared the Trump tapes with former President Richard Nixon, Trump posted an all-caps attack calling it "DEFAMATORY!"
