The Pulitzer Board is strategically leveraging President Trump's own arguments regarding delaying lawsuits for sitting presidents in response to his legal action against them. Trump's defamation lawsuit follows their awarding of Pulitzer Prizes for reporting on Russian interference during the 2016 election. With Trump's team previously advocating for stays in litigation to allow him to focus on national issues, the Board's approach not only challenges the lawsuit but also reflects a clever legal maneuvering against Trump's ongoing civil suits amid his various legal troubles.
In their latest filing, the Pulitzer Board pointed out that Trump himself has previously argued that lawsuits against him should be delayed while he is in office.
The Pulitzer Board's argument essentially repurposes Trump's own defense tactics to shield themselves from litigation while his case is active.
