Trump claims win as Florida court rejects Pulitzer Board bid to pause defamation case 

President Donald Trump notched a significant legal victory this week in his ongoing effort to strip the New York Times and the Washington Post of their Pulitzer Prizes for reporting on alleged ties between his 2016 campaign and Russia — coverage he claims was false and defamatory.

 A Florida appellate court on Wednesday rejected the Pulitzer Prize Board’s attempt to pause the defamation lawsuit, clearing the way for the case to proceed.The board had argued that allowing the litigation to move forward while Trump is serving in office would raise constitutional concerns, but the court dismissed that claim, saying only the president himself could assert such privileges.

 “BREAKING! In a major WIN in our powerful lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board regarding the illegal and defamatory ‘Award’ of their once highly respected ‘Prize,’ to fake, malicious stories on the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, by the Failing New York Times and the Washington Compost, the Florida Appellate Court viciously rejected the Defendants’ corrupt attempt to halt the case,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

 “They’ll have to give back their ‘Award.’ They were awarded for false reporting, and we can’t let that happen in the United States of America.”

 The Fourth District Court of Appeal in Florida issued a seven-page ruling Wednesday that denied the board’s motion to stay proceedings.

 The board had argued that allowing the case to proceed while Trump serves in office could raise constitutional issues, including concerns under the Supremacy Clause and the Take Care Clause of the Constitution.

The court flatly rejected that rationale, ruling that such privileges are not transferable to Trump’s legal opponents.
