Lawyer, writer, legal analyst.

I write and comment on national legal issues from Washington, D.C. — covering the Justice Department, the Supreme Court, white-collar crime, and the intersection of law and politics.

Writing

I've been the legal affairs columnist for Politico and New York Magazine, and contributed to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, The Atlantic, TIME, USA Today, WIRED, Slate, The American Prospect, and Columbia Journalism Review.

My work covers the Justice Department, federal prosecutions, the Supreme Court, white-collar crime, and the intersection of law and politics.

Background

Before entering media in early 2020, I was a federal prosecutor at the Justice Department specializing in financial fraud and white-collar crime. Before that, I worked at a New York law firm in commercial litigation and white-collar corporate defense. I hold a law degree and a B.A. from Columbia University and clerked for a federal judge in the Southern District of New York.

I regularly provide legal commentary and analysis on television, radio, and podcasts, including MS NOW, CNN, BBC, C-SPAN, and NPR.
