About

I'm a journalist based in New York City. I work as an Assignment Editor on the International News Desk at ABC News. In my previous work experiences, I was based in Washington, DC. I worked most recently as the Pentagon Producer for CNN covering the Defense Department and the US military. I previously covered the first impeachment of Donald J. Trump on Capitol Hill and the 2020 Presidential election, among other Washington political stories. Before becoming a producer, I covered federal agencies and government regulation as an associate producer for the network. I previously worked in CNN's New York bureau covering breaking news in the Northeast. Before that, I worked in branded content at Mic and The Huffington Post, and I was a freelance reporter and writer for a number of publications. I have experience as a reporter, producer, writer, editor, social media strategist, and project manager. Contact me at ellie.kaufman@abc.com
