Claim your profileJack Detsch is a defense reporter at Politico. He has broken numerous stories that lawmakers have drawn on to press the Trump administration for accountability on topics such as arms control and Chinese foreign investment. In 2019, while serving as a reporter at Al-Monitor, a global news organization covering the Middle East, Detsch won the exemplary media award from the Forum on the Arms Trade for his coverage of the Trump administration's policy toward Yemen, after his reporting revealed that the U.S. did not plan to provide Congress with a certification allowing American involvement in Yemen, and that the Pentagon had neglected deadlines to provide lawmakers with a U.S. strategy for the conflict. Detsch came to Washington after covering cybersecurity for the Christian Science Monitor and working at NPR-affiliated radio stations in the San Francisco Bay Area.
