President Donald Trump on Friday called on The Washington Post and New York Times to be stripped of Pulitzer Prizes that the newspapers received last year for reporting on Russiagate.
So funny that The New York Times & The Washington Post got a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage (100% NEGATIVE and FAKE!) of Collusion with Russia – And there was No Collusion! So, they were either duped or corrupt? In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!

The Post and Times shared the 2018 Pulitzer for a series of reports on developments in the Russia investigation.
Many of the core allegations in the reports were undercut with the recent revelation that special counsel Robert Mueller did not find collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
“The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” Mueller wrote in his 400-page report, according to Attorney General William Barr. (RELATED: Mueller: No Collusion)
According to Barr, Mueller also did not establish “that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate” conspired or “knowingly coordinated” with Russian efforts to use social media platforms to spread disinformation during the 2016 campaign or to hack Democrats emails and disseminate them online.
On Sunday, after Barr released the summary of Muellers findings, Donald Trump Jr. also blasted The Post and Times over their award-winning reports.
They should convert those Pulitzers to #fakenews awards. How do you win a reporting award for reporting fake news? There should be a recall. Those Pulitzers were earned like Liz Warrens tenure. https://t.co/5Bak6VTQ5G
