Pulitzer board members are asking a Florida state court to pause Trump's defamation case against them while he’s in office, citing Trump’s own arguments that he has used to get other litigation paused.

The Pulitzer Prize board is asking a judge to hit pause on a defamation case President Donald Trump filed against until his presidency is over, using Trump’s own legal arguments against him.

The board of the Pulitzer Prizes asks a Florida judge to stay a defamation case from President Trump, involving journalism on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The Pulitzer Board is asking a court to pause all defamation proceedings in President Donald Trump's lawsuit against them, CNN reported on Monday — and they're citing Trump's own legal theories to make their argument.

Mr. Trump, the board noted, has argued that a state court should not be permitted to exert control over a sitting president.

Donald Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize Board, which, he claimed, defamed him by refusing to retract prizes it gave the New York Times and the Washington Post for their Russiagate reporting.
