Former president Donald Trump reportedly has filed a lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board. In the suit, the 45th president claims the committee defamed him by honoring the New York Times and Washington Post for their reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and by refusing to retract those awards.
Trump’s lawsuit was viewed by Fox News, according to Mediaite. It alleges “key assertions and premises of the Russia Collusion Hoax” crucial to both papers’ 2018 reporting were debunked by the The Mueller Report and congressional investigations.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller told Congress in July 2019 his nearly two-year investigation did not explore allegations of collusion, and there was not evidence “sufficient to charge any member of the campaign with taking part in a criminal conspiracy.”
