Trump called for the revocation of that award throughout his time in office, announcing then through Twitter that it was "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, were they either duped or corrupt?In any event, their prizes should be taken away by the Committee!"
Now, in the wake of further reporting that revealed that the connection was not there and that there was no collusion, as well as the indictment of Michael Sussmann, a Clinton attorney, Trump has repeatedly called for the pulling of the prizes. The server that was at the center of the claimed inquiry was not one belonging to Trump or his organizations, though was "was administered by a mass marketing email company," according to Fox News.

The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, who was relentless in her attempts to show that the allegations of Trump's Russia collusion were false, announced that "The corrupt media's regurgitation of outlandish and unsubstantiated claims that Donald Trump was planning to steal or had stolen the 2016 election by colluding with Russia discredits the entire industry. That they gave themselves awards and promotions and acclaim for amplifying lies secretly financed by the Clinton campaign and weaponized by politicized government bureaucrats further discredits them."

Trump is in agreement. His letter states:
"I call on the Pulitzer Prize Board to immediately rescind the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting awarded to the staff of The New York Times and The Washington Post, which was based on false reporting of a non-existent link between the Kremlin and the Trump Campaign. As has been widely publicized, the coverage was no more than a politically motivated farce which attempted to spin a false narrative that my campaign supposedly colluded with Russia despite a complete lack of evidence underpinning this allegation.”

"When the Board announced the prize, it lauded the recipients 'for deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nations' understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team, and his eventual administration.' Specifically, the prize was awarded for a series of articles centered around the now-debunked Russia collusion conspiracy theory. The headlines themselves were extremely sensational and leaned heavily on unsubstantiated anonymous sources. For example, much of the information contained in these articles were credited to 'people with knowledge,' 'current and former officials,' 'some senior U.S. officials,' and other vaguely defined individuals. As a result, the public was deprived of an independent means of assessing their credibility, their potential for political bias, and the source of their knowledge."
