When Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold decided in early 2016 to look into whether then-presidential candidate Donald Trump had made a $1 million donation to veterans groups, he thought he’d be “through with the story in a day or two.” But over the course of the next nine months, his modest inquiry morphed into a full-scale, crowd-sourced investigation of Trump’s charitable giving and the questionable activities of the Trump Foundation. This month, Fahrenthold won a Pulitzer Prize for that reporting. We’ll find out how he developed the story and what he learned about President Trump as he covered the election.
