Former President Donald Trump criticized the Pulitzer Prize Board on July 18 for refusing to rescind the 2018 awards given to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of the now-debunked counter-intelligence story of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“The Pulitzer Board has taken away any shred of credibility it had left with its ‘response’ regarding the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting, which was awarded to The New York Times and The Washington Post for blatant fake news,” Trump said in a statement released on Monday.
