Tables Turn On Trump As Discovery In Lawsuit Demands His Medical Records

And his taxes, and prescription history.

By Conover Kennard — December 16, 2025

Pulitzer Prize board members just turned the tables on Donald Trump with discovery demands over the President's defamation lawsuit over Russia probe reporting awards. Trump launched the lawsuit against the board in 2022.

Trump has repeatedly claimed to be in excellent health, even though he's been pictured daily with bandages on his pasty hand for ages now. And there's the MRI that the 79-year-old president feigns ignorance over.

The Daily Beast reports:

Now, court documents filed for the Pulitzer Prize Board demand that Trump hand over all tax documents and all documents concerning his medical or psychological health.

Maybe depose old Billy Boy and the Mueller team.
