[div class"excerpt"]Washington Posts David Fahrenthold wins Pulitzer Prize for dogged reporting of Trumps philanthropy
Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold remembers being struck by Donald Trumps pledge to donate $6 million, including $1 million of his personal funds, to veteran groups during a televised fundraiser before the Iowa caucuses early last year. Did Trump follow through, he wondered? So, weeks after the event, Fahrenthold started asking questions.
For several months, he found, the answer was no, despite assurances to the contrary from Trumps campaign. When Trump finally made the donation in late May the reporter set off on a broader inquiry. In a detailed series of articles, he found that many of Trumps philanthropic claims over the years had been exaggerated, and often werent truly charitable activities at all.
On Monday, Fahrentholds investigative digging was rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize, journalisms most prestigious award. His work documenting the future presidents charitable practices won the award for national reporting.
Fahrentholds Pulitzer-winning package of stories also included his article disclosing that Trump had made crude comments and bragged about groping women during an unaired portion of an interview on Access Hollywood in 2005.
