President Donald Trump built his personal brand and presidential candidacy on the claim that he was a self-made billionaire whose only head start was a "small loan of a million dollars" from his father. But a New York Times exposi(C) has revealed that Trump inherited much of his family's wealth through tax dodging and outright fraud, receiving at least $413 million in inflation-adjusted dollars from his father's real estate empire. We speak with David Barstow, three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for The New York Times and the lead author on the new investigation, "Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches from His Father." Barstow shares a byline with Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.
