Washington Post report questions Trump's donations
Washington Post journalist David Fahrenthold is investigating the Trump Foundation -- and simultaneously showing how to involve readers in the reporting process.
Other journalists say Fahrenthold's work is inspiring. Some have dubbed it Pulitzer worthy. Its impact was reinforced on Tuesday when President Obama cited the reporting while stumping for Hillary Clinton.
While the Clinton family foundation "has saved countless lives around the world," Trump's foundation "took money other people gave to his charity and then bought a six-foot-tall painting of himself," Obama said.
The curious case of the portrait was revealed in a front page story by Farenthold on Sunday.
Fahrenthold didn't hear the speech live. He was head down at his desk. When he got up to get coffee, a colleague filled him in.
