Trump Threatens To Sue Pulitzer Prize Board Members

Fox News reports:

Former President Trump ramped up his fight against the Pulitzer Prize Board on Thursday with a letter informing individual members they could be exposed to a defamation suit.The letter said they could be liable over the 2018 National Reporting prizes given to The New York Times and Washington Post for “totally debunked” coverage of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Earlier this year, the Pulitzer Prize Board declared the awards will stand. Fox News Digital obtained a follow-up letter sent by Trump’s legal team to the Pulitzer Board notifying that a “defamatory statement” justifying the 2018 award remains on its website and warning that it must be removed within five business days or else “individual members may be subject and exposed to a judgment for damages, including punitive damages, for defamation.”
