Trump Demands Retraction From Pulitzer Board After Russia Hoax Indictments

“[I]t has recently become apparent that the subject articles were based on incontrovertibly false information provided by dubious sources who were maliciously attempting to mislead the public and tarnish our client’s reputation,” the letter said, specifically demanding that the board strip The Washington Post and The New York Times of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting unless the board wants to face legal action.

The letter follows and cites recent indictments of key players in the hoax. In September, lawyer Michael Sussmann was indicted for giving the FBI false statements when he made up the fake Alfa Bank-Trump conspiracy story and when he lied about working on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Earlier this month, Igor Danchenko, who was a crucial contributor to the bogus and Democrat-funded Steele dossier, was also charged for providing false statements to the FBI when he denied that he colluded with Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

Less than a week ago, The Washington Post removed large parts of two articles, issued corrections, changed headlines, and took down a video summarizing an incorrect article because it said it “could no longer stand by the accuracy of those elements of the story.” Yet the Pulitzer Board has not taken any action to retract the awards or set the record straight.
