Trump Calls On Pulitzer Board to Revoke Prizes for ‘Russia Collusion’ Reporting
Jonathan Davis October 3, 2021
Former President Donald Trump is calling on the Pulitzer board to revoke prizes awarded for so-called “Russian collusion” reporting in 2018 because the allegations proved to be false.
In particular, Trump noted in a statement Sunday morning to Bud Kliment, the interim administrator of the awards, that prizes awarded to The New York Times and Washington Post should be rescinded because they were handed out under the guise of “false reporting.”
The panel awarded the prizes under the realm of “National Reporting,” but Trump said the series of stories published by both papers had been based on “false reporting of a non-existent link between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign.”
“As has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation,” the former president said in a letter to Kliment.
