  • Shes covered five presidential elections and shared a Pulitzer Prize for the Times reporting of Trump advisors and their connections to Russia in 2018.

  • She was last on fresh air in 2022 to talk about her bestselling book, Confidence, the making of Donald Trump, and the breaking of America.
