'The coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce,' Trump said in a letter directed to the Pulitzer Prize interim administrator, Bud Kliment.
Trump wrote that the reporting lacked evidence as it alleged that his campaign"supposedly colluded with Russia" in a joint interference in the 2016 election.
He added that the awards should be withdrawn because they are based on a set of articles that focused on the"now debunked Russian collusion conspiracy theory." He later said in the letter that the allegations were confirmed to be false and that he has been"exonerated of these charges."said that he didn't exonerate Trump—charging the then-president with a crime just was"not an option."
