Overview
The Pulitzer Prize Board has filed a motion to suspend President Trump's defamation lawsuit against them, effectively using arguments he made to delay other lawsuits during his presidency. Trump is seeking to rescind the Pulitzer Awards given to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their reporting on 2016 Russian interference. Trump's claims rely on the assertion that the board acted with malice in awarding the prizes. The motion cites constitutional concerns tied to a sitting president's legal immunity, suggesting proceeding with the lawsuit could create constitutional conflicts.
