Yes!! This is an especially well deserved Pulitzer — many of us here kept saying David deserved one… and he got one!! Anyone on Facebook and Twitter — send him a congrats!!
www.pulitzer.org/… David A. Fahrenthold of The Washington Post For persistent reporting that created a model for transparent journalism in political campaign coverage while casting doubt on Donald Trump’s assertions of generosity toward charities. He was incredibly persistent, and even dogged… and yet he was very modest about his achievements (I watched a lecture he gave at a Midwest college and you could tell he was enthused but not full of himself).
