NYT admits that Mueller found “no evidence” of Trump-Russia collusion. That’s because it was as big of a scam as “Russian interference.” But it will take decades, if not centuries, before the NYT ever admits that one.

A senior state court judge refused to dismiss a defamation lawsuit brought by Trump against the Pulitzer Board.
The Board gave Pulitzers to NYT and WPost for their repeated echoing of the Russiagate fraud.

The ruling on Saturday by Robert Pegg, a senior judge on a circuit court in Florida, means that Mr. Trump's case will proceed, opening the door to a discovery phase that may allow Mr. Trump's lawyers to question Pulitzer officials, who issue the most prestigious prizes in journalism.
The case hinges on a statement made in 2022 by the panel reaffirming its decision to award the national reporting prize in 2018 to The New York Times and The Washington Post for their coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and Russian ties to the Trump campaign.
After the prize was awarded, a special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, investigating the Russian interference allegations, said he could find no evidence that Mr. Trump or his aides had coordinated with the interference effort.
