   Investigative journalist Seamus Bruner on Monday stated that he believes   
   the Washington Post should give back its coveted Pulitzer Prize on a now-   
   debunked story about Russia's supposed collusion with President Donald   
   Trump's 2016 campaign.   
      
   Just The News last week exclusively obtained and shared nearly 700 pages   
   of once-secret documents related to the FBI's investigation into the   
   collusion allegations. Those documents included proof that former National   
   Security Agency Director Mike Rogers told FBI agents that the crux of a   
   Pulitzer Prize award-winning Washington Post story on the Russia collusion   
   hoax was “wrong."   
      
   Bruner told "Just the News, No Noise" that he believes the revelation   
   means the Washington Post should give its Pulitzer Prize back or renounce   
   the award. He also indicated that the New York Times should give its award   
   back for its coverage of the story.   
      
   "They totally should give it back," Bruner said. "And it's just such a   
   shame what's happened to the Pulitzer Committee. It used to mean something   
   to win a Pulitzer, and ever since 2016 I've watched year after year they   
   give Pulitzers to total disinformation. I remember the New York Times also   
   got a Pulitzer for its Russia reporting, which was totally wrong."   
      
   The Pulitzer Prize Board's website said the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in   
   National Reporting was awarded to the staffs of the Washington Post and   
   New York Times “for deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the   
   public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s 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.”   
      
   It is not clear whether the Washington Post had been told prior to the May   
   2017 publishing of their story that Rogers was denying their   
   characterization of his talk with Trump.
