The Trump administration has announced it is going after a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter and other journalists who report things it dislikes.
According to CNN, the White House said Thursday it was compiling a ‘very large’ dossier on reporter David Fahrenthold.
Farenthold, Josh Dawsey, and Joshua Partlow co-wrote an article detailing business dealings between the Trump Organization and the US government.
It revealed President Trump’s company charged the government more than $900,000 for hotel room fees among other services at Mar-a-Lago.
In a statement, White House spokesperson Judd Deere accused The Washington Post of blatant interference, saying ‘it must stop.’
Please be advised that we are building up a very large ‘dossier’ on the many false David Fahrenthold and others’ stories, as they are a disgrace to journalism and the American people. Judd Deere, White House Spokesperson
Fahrenthold won a 2017 Pulitzer Prize for ‘casting doubt’ on Trump’s ‘generosity toward charities’ in his coverage. He has also reported on Trump’s businesses.
