A Florida Court of Appeals on Wednesday allowed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Pulitzer board to continue, ruling that the president had met his burden of proof that there was actual malice and bias against him.
The defamation lawsuit stems from a Pulitzer board decision to award a prize to The New York Times and The Washington Post for reporting about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The president also claimed he was defamed in a statement from the board, which came after Trump asked them to rescind the 2018 award. Trump filed the initial lawsuit in 2022.
