From Morning Report, 7:14 am on 4 October 2018

Donald Trump's self-made billionaire image has been shattered by the New York Times. A year-long investigation by journalists at the newspaper found he inherited more than US$400m from his father Fred Trump - not US$1m as he claimed during his presidential campaign. He also passed off many of his father's financial accomplishments as his own. New York Times reporter David Barstow worked on the story. He tells Susie Ferguson President Trump had aggressively misled the world about his finances.
