What happened
Trump demanded the board revoke the 2018 National Reporting prize; the board has never done so. A Florida appeals court declined to dismiss the case in February 2025, and discovery did not begin until December 11, 2025 — three years after filing. No prize has been revoked and no judgment has been entered.
