The Pulitzer Prize board is looking to counter Donald Trump in a defamation lawsuit by employing strategies reminiscent of the president’s own tactics.

In a Monday filing, the board moved to pause proceedings in the long-running case until the 47th president’s term in office is complete.

The motion, based on Trump’s status as president, immediately references two sections of the U.S. Constitution: the Supremacy Clause and the Take Care clause, and also includes historical constitutional case law that provides interpretation for the mentioned sections.

The board’s motion argues, “[I]t would now raise constitutional concerns for this court – or any other state court – to exercise ‘direct control’ over Plaintiff during his presidency,” emphasizing the constitutional complexities involved.
