David A. Fahrenthold is a political reporter for the Washington
Post’s national staff. He has worked for the Post since 2000, when
he arrived as a summer intern on the city desk. Since then,
Fahrenthold has covered the D.C. police, the environment, New
England, Congress, federal bureaucracy, and presidential and
Congressional elections. During the 2016 election, Fahrenthold
wrote extensively about Donald Trump’s unfulfilled promises to
donate to charity – and about the Donald J. Trump Foundation, a
charity run by the then-candidate that appeared to violate federal
rules by using its money to buy large portraits of Trump, and to
pay off the legal settlements of Trump’s businesses. He also
revealed the existence of a 2005 video, taken during a taping of
“Access Hollywood,” in which Trump made extremely lewd comments
about groping women.
For his 2016 campaign reporting, Fahrenthold was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. He was also honored with a
George Polk Award for Political Reporting from Long Island
University and the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political
Reporting. He is a native of Houston, Texas, and a 2000 graduate of
Harvard University. He now lives in Washington with his wife,
Elizabeth Lewis, and his daughters Alexandra, 4, and Stella, age 1.
