The 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Investigative Reporting was awarded to David Barstow, Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner of The New York Times for "an exhaustive 18-month investigation of Donald Trump's finances that debunked his statements of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges."[16] Mary was reportedly a key source of information for that study,[2] having come into possession of Donald's tax documents during the discovery process in the dispute over her grandfather's estate.[17]
