Florida court lets Trump's defamation lawsuit against Pulitzer board over 2018 award proceed.

A Florida appeals court has allowed President Trump's defamation lawsuit against Pulitzer Prize board members to proceed. Trump filed the lawsuit in 2022 after requesting the board rescind a 2018 award to the New York Times and Washington Post for reporting on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The court rejected arguments to dismiss the case, despite most defendants not being Florida residents. The Pulitzer board maintains the lawsuit is an attempt to intimidate the press and vows to continue fighting.
