Ian and his team investigated nearly every aspect of Donald Trump’s business empire, helping uncover tens-of-thousands of pages of never-before-seen public records used extensively during the campaign. Ian also trained dozens of record collectors dispatched throughout the country to pull court records on Trump and his businesses, an effort unprecedented in its size and scope.
