Fahrenthold was cited for a “dogged pursuit” of Trump that led to a year-long string of articles offering a picture “that Trump had long sought to keep secret.”

In announcing the 68th annual Polk awards, Long Island University said that Fahrenthold unmasked “deceptive and illegal charitable activities” on the part of Trump’s foundation.

The university said that Fahrenthold’s work also led to “a blockbuster — the existence of a video” in which Trump “bragged about sexually assaulting women.” It shaped political discourse for days, the university added." WP

Well done, Mr. Fahrenthold. Well done.

Thank God for the Washington Post!
