Hello Reddit! I'm Dave Fahrenthold, reporter for the Washington Post. If you've heard of me, it's for what I did last year: I dug into Donald Trump's promises to give his own money to charity, and found that – often – they didn't come true. I also found evidence that Trump had misused the money in a charity he controlled, using the cash to buy large portraits of himself, and to pay off legal settlements involving his for-profit businesses. I also was the first one to come across the Access Hollywood video, in which Trump boasted about groping women without their consent.

I also shot myself in the eye with a glitter gun.

I can explain, but explaining doesn't make it sound any less dumb.

I've also covered the D.C. police, Congress, the environment, New England, and the World Championship Muskrat Skinning Contest (held annually in Golden Hill, Md., accompanied by a beauty pageant). Right now, I'm covering President Trump's conflicts of interest, with a focus on his golf courses and Mar-a-Lago. I've never been to Palm Beach, but I've seen pictures.

We're going to get started at 1 p.m., so send in your questions early!
