David Fahrenthold wins Pulitzer Prize for exposing Trump's corruption and Access Hollywood
The Washington Post’s David Fahrenthold has won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting, which included the revelation that Donald Trump had made false claims about his charitable fundraising as well as breaking the news of the tape in which the tycoon bragged about groping women.
During the US election campaign last year, the reporter investigated the President’s philanthropic works over his business career, revealing that Mr Trump had made his fundraising seem more impressive than it actually was.
Following Mr Fahrenthold's reporting, the New York Attorney General opened an inquiry into the Trump Foundation fundraising practices, and ultimately issued a “notice of violation” ordering the foundation to stop raising money in New York.

In May 2016, Mr Fahrenthold began his dogged investigation into Mr Trump’s claim that he had given away millions from his own pocket to various charities, including veterans’ organisations.
He periodically posted updates to his Twitter account of the responses he had received from the charities Mr Trump had named, with only one charity out of 400 confirming they had received any money.
