The New York Times and The Washington Post were both awarded Pulitzer Prizes in 2018 for their coverage of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russians, which has since been debunked. Former President Donald Trump criticized the Pulitzer Prize Board on July 18 for refusing to rescind the awards.
As Trump pointed out in a statement released on Monday, the Pulitzer Board has damaged its credibility with its "response" to the award of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting to The New York Times and The Washington Post.
“Instead of acting with integrity and providing transparency, the Pulitzer Board is running cover for the biggest reporting failure in modern history: the fake Russia Russia Russia collusion hoax,” Trump added.
