Trump files defamation suit against members of Pulitzer Prize Board for defending 'debunked' Russiagate honors
Complaint says New York Times, Washington Post were 'rewarded for lying to the American public'

Former President Trump filed a defamation lawsuit on Tuesday against the Pulitzer Prize Board over the 2018 National Reporting prizes given to The New York Times and Washington Post for coverage of "now-debunked theory" of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Trump’s suit, filed Tuesday in Okeechobee County, Florida, was obtained by Fox News Digital. It states that a "demonstrably false connection was and remains the stated basis" for the coverage that received the prestigious award. 

The staff of the Times and Post shared the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National reporting for "deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration," according to the Pulitzer website. 

"A large swath of Americans had a tremendous misunderstanding of the truth at the time the Times’ and the Post’s propagation of the Russia Collusion Hoax dominated the media," the complaint states. "Remarkably, they were rewarded for lying to the American public."

No doubt Trump was horribly wronged, BUT at some point he has to turn the other cheek and get on with life.  Fighting this battle over and over is not a good look for him.

If the DOJ/FBI/Dept State are going to participate in a coup with the media backing them up, someone needs to stand up for whats right.  I don't hold much hope for his success but I applaud the fight.

The Washington Post and NY Times got away with tarring Roy Moore, with most of the the right applauding it. Remember the left even made fake twitter accounts to tarnish Moore with "Russian disinformation" and even when brought to light, the so-called conservatives complained little. Yep, what was done to Trump had it's practice run two years earlier and few cared.
