The Pulitzer Board demands Trump’s tax, medical, and financial records to verify his defamation claims.

The Pulitzer Prize Board has demanded Donald Trump's tax records, financial documents, and comprehensive medical and psychological history—spanning 2015 to the present—as part of a discovery request in his 2022 defamation lawsuit. The board seeks the information to assess the validity of Trump’s claims of reputational harm from its 2018 award of journalism prizes related to Russian election interference. The request, filed in Florida, marks a major escalation in the case, with Trump required to respond within 30 days, potentially facing challenges to privilege or legal objections. The move reflects standard civil litigation practices, where plaintiffs alleging harm may be subject to scrutiny of their own records.
