CM is a Canadian
investigative journalist who works at
The New York Times . She was the reporter to whom
Donald Trump 's 1995
tax returns were anonymously mailed during the
2016 presidential election . In 2018, she was an author of The New York Times investigation into Donald Trump's wealth that found the president inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his father, some through fraudulent tax schemes.
[1] She won the
Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting in 2019 for this coverage.
[2] In 2020, she further reported on Donald Trump's tax record which disclosed that he paid $750 in federal income tax during 2016 and nothing at all in 10 of the previous 15 years.
[3] Craig is also known for her coverage of the
financial crisis of 2007–2008 and of
New York State and
New York City government and politics.
Early life and education
Craig was born in
Calgary ,
Alberta , and attended the
University of Calgary , graduating in 1991 with a B.A. in Political Science and Government.

Career
Craig began her career as a summer intern for the
Calgary Herald in 1990, and was a summer
intern for the
Windsor Star 1991; her first full-time job was as a reporter for the Windsor Star in
Windsor, Ontario .
[4]
She originally wrote for
The Globe and Mail before becoming a
staff writer for the
Wall Street Journal .
[6] In 2010 she joined the New York Times to continue reporting on
Wall Street and was later promoted to
bureau chief for coverage of the New York State government.
[6]
[7]
[8] In 2015, Craig left Albany to become the Times'
New York City Hall bureau chief.
She is the recipient of the
National Newspaper Award in Canada (Business - 1999)
[9] and several
Gerald Loeb Awards .
[10]
[11] Additionally, she was the lead journalist on a team that was a finalist for a
Pulitzer Prize for National Affairs Reporting in relation to coverage of the
Lehman Brothers and their role in the
financial crisis of 2008 .
[12]
On October 1, 2016 the New York Times published an article co-authored by Craig, which stated that
Donald Trump had reported a loss of $916 million in 1995, which could have allowed him to avoid paying
income taxes for up to eighteen years.
[13] In subsequent television interviews, Craig identified herself as the reporter who had received a portion of Trump's 1995 tax records in her mailbox from an anonymous sender.
[14] In 2019 she and two other reporters shared the
Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for "an exhaustive 18-month investigation of President Donald Trump’s finances that debunked his claims of self-made wealth and revealed a business empire riddled with tax dodges".
[2] On September 27, 2020, she and others further reported on Trump's tax record, exposing that Trump paid $750 in federal income tax during 2016 and no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years.
