About

I’m a legal affairs reporter for The Hill, where my beat focuses on the U.S. Supreme Court and the cases shaping the second Trump administration. I previously covered Trump's personal civil and criminal cases. I also co-author The Gavel, a weekly newsletter digesting the latest at the intersection of courts and national politics. Receive it for free in your inbox every Wednesday by visiting http://thehill.com/signup As someone who is not a lawyer, I am passionate about helping non-lawyers digest the intricacies of legal proceedings as they increasingly become relevant to the political arena. I spend much of my time sitting in courtrooms at every level — from local traffic court to the nation’s highest court — whenever a political figure is involved. I have also appeared on television and radio stations including CNN, MSNBC, NewsNation, SiriusXM, C-SPAN and more to discuss the latest legal news.
