Practically from the moment Donald Trump began running for president, David Fahrenthold of the Washington Post has been digging into his business practices.

Fahrenthold was the first to disclose improprieties at the Trump Foundation. He’s documented spending by Saudi interests in Trump’s various hotel properties. He’s covered the ups and downs of Trump’s businesses since he became president. In 2017, his Trump coverage won him a Pulitzer Prize. More important, when Democrats start investigating Trump after they take control of the House in January, Fahrenthold’s stories will serve as the foundation for at least some of those inquiries.
