President Donald Trump On Monday, an important legal victory scored in his lawsuit against the members of the Pulitzer Prize Board, where the road was released to the discovery phase in their courtroom fight.
Last week the board members submitted a motion for a protective order for discovery in the hope of protecting their internal communication with the decision to grant The New York Times And the Washington post a Pulitzer prize for their report on Russiagate during the first tenure of Trump.
Judge Robert L. Pegg of the 19th judicial circuit Court in Okeechobee County, Florida, held their motion.
“The rule requires” a confirming tones of annoyance, shame, oppression or unnecessary burden or costs of that party or person … Dockers don’t have this requirement because there is no factual support in the file that demonstrates that a suspect , much less every suspect would be subject to annoyance, shame, oppression or unnecessary burden or costs if a protection warrant is not entered, “Pegg wrote in his submission.

Fox News Digital reached the Pulitzer prices for comment.
In 2022, Trump brought a defamation to the Pulitzer Prize Board on the national reporting prices of 2018 that were given to the Times and Post for the coverage of the “now debunked theory” of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The lawsuit states that a “demonstrably false connection was and remains” for the coverage that the prestigious prize has received.
The staff of the Times and Post shared the Pulitzer Prize 2018 for national reporting for “deeply produced, ruthless coverage in the public interest that the understanding of the nation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential elections and the connections with the connections with the Trump -campaignThe transition team of the President-Elect and his final administration, “according to the Pulitzer website.
President Trump has filed a resilient procedure against members of the Pulitzer Prize Board after it had awarded the New York Times and the Washington Post for their coverage of Russiagate in 2018.
“A large strip of Americans had a huge misunderstanding about the truth when the Times” and the propagation of the post of the Russia Collusion Hoax dominated the media, “says the complaint. “It is remarkable that they were rewarded for lying against the American audience.”
The complaint made a series of points that indicated why it feels that the Pulitzer-Running Stories are not worth the honor, including Special Council Robert Mueller Not finding proof of collusion and a DOJ inspector -general report in which crime is explained by federal researchers.
The Trump team previously called for “a full and honest correction, apology or withdrawal”, in addition to the prices of 2018 that were withdrawn, but the Pulitzer Prize Board stated that the prizes would be.
“The Pulitzer Prize Board has established a formal process that carefully revised complaints against winning entries. In the past three years, the Pulitzer board has received questions, including former President Donald Trump, about submissions of the New York Times and Washington Post About Russian interference in the American elections and its connections with the Trump campaign centers that jointly won the National Reporting Prize 2018, “wrote the Pulitzer Prize Board earlier. .
