“Lawyers representing former President Donald Trump issued a letter Tuesday threatening to sue the Pulitzer Prize board if they don’t ‘immediately rescind’ the 2018 awards given to both The Washington Post and The New York Times for their coverage of the Russia collusion case. According to a letter reviewed by Just the News, Trump’s lawyers are threatening legal action due to The New York Times and Washington Post’s stories concerning Trump’s ties to Russia.”
“‘It is hereby demanded that the Pulitzer Prize Board take immediate steps to strip the New York Times and The Washington Post of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. Pulitzer Prize Board’s failure to do so will result in prompt legal action being taken against it,’ attorney Alina Habba wrote on behalf of Trump. The letter was sent out by Trump’s Save America political action committee. ‘It is hereby demanded that the Pulitzer Prize Board take immediate steps to strip the New York Times and The Washington Post of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting. Pulitzer Prize Board’s failure to do so will result in prompt legal action being taken against it.’ The letter goes on to state that if the board doesn’t hold these two publications accountable, it could irreparably tarnish the reputation of the Pulitzer Prize” reports John Solomon’s bullshit site.
Unstated is what the hell kind of relief Trump would be seeking in this lawsuit were he to prevail, which he won’t. Multiple defamation lawsuits filed by figures implicated in the Russia scandal were tossed by courts again and again over the years. The Steele Dossier might be falling apart, but that does nothing to debunk the meeting about adoptions or what the drunk coffee boy said in the months before the dossier was even compiled in the fall of 2016.
