David Fahrenthold dossier, The White House Says It's Assembling a “Dossier”

 David Fahrenthold dossier, The White House Says It's Assembling a “Dossier”.

The White House is compiling a "very large" dossier on a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter and other journalists from the organisation. It said these persons were a "disgrace to journalism and the American people."

This development came after The Post requested comment for a Thursday story David Fahrenthold wrote with two colleagues. The story, co-bylined by reporters Josh Dawsey and Joshua Partlow, detailed how US President Donald Trump's company "charged the US government more than $900,000" for hotel rooms fees among other services at Mar-a-Lago.

In a statement, White House spokesperson Judd Deere accused The Washington Post of "blatantly interfering with the business relationships of the Trump Organization" and demanded "it must stop."

He said, "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."
