Investigative reporters have been digging into the candidate's business dealings from the past and present. Here's our roundup just in time for the weekend.

Ever since Donald Trump threw his hat into the presidential ring he has been able to monopolize media attention at will. With one outrageous comment after another he pulls the spotlight back to himself, dominating headlines and getting more than 30 percent more media coverage than all the other candidates. Call him a masterful politician, a marketing genius, a reality show star, a narcissist, a demagogue or a huckster. He is all those. What he is not, however, is a self-made, successful, businessman.

Buried beneath the breathless coverage is some significant investigative journalism — both new and old — filled with facts. There is even a rarely viewed 25-year-old documentary that serves as a glitzy time capsule filled with archival footage of The Donald — and more pesky facts. It remains to be seen whether these facts can outpace the fiction in the 2016 race. We look forward to sharing more investigations on more topics. As Walter Lippmann wrote, “There can be no higher law in journalism than to tell the truth and to shame the devil.”

He has enough money to finance his own campaign, free from the noose of the super PACs. Which is better than the other candidates can say and good enough for me.

Not defending Trump at all. Just one question though. If there is so much dirt, how come the "Establishment" Repubs have not shoveled it out there yet?

Because he will be the president and whoever throws mud at the candidate doesn't have a door to walk through for further "discussion".

They see the writing on the wall and don't want to shoot themselves in the foot before they know where they stand.

Because the establishment and Trump have become "one". You think it's a coincidence that Bob Dole and Chris Christie have endorsed him?

You would think it would be obvious grin

Trump has funded every liberal politician we're fighting against

Isn't a businessman who's used his money to buy politicians influence exactly the problem with the Washington Cartel?
