Trump's lawsuit against Pulitzer Prize board members moves forward after judge denies temporary stay request

Bericht door noumoe »

President Donald Trump scored yet another victory in his legal battle against the members of the Pulitzer Prize Board after a judge denied their request for a temporary stay on his lawsuit against them.

In 2022, Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board over the 2018 National Reporting prizes given to the New York Times and Washington Post for coverage of the "now-debunked theory" of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Judge Robert L. Pegg of the 19th Judicial Circuit Court in Okeechobee County, Florida, rejected the argument made by the Pulitzer Prize board members, who insisted on having the temporary stay in place while Trump was in office and that his obligations regarding the lawsuit could "interfere with his duties as president as he could not devote his time and energy to the problems and issues facing the nation."

Trump's lawyers argued the stay request had no standing since such a request would be in the prerogative of the plaintiff.
