The Gun Lobby’s Hidden Hand in the 2nd Amendment Battle
Case after case challenging gun restrictions cites the same Georgetown professor. His seemingly independent work has undisclosed ties to pro-gun interests.

I’m interested in stories that others assume can’t be told. In 2017, Megan Twohey and I broke the story of decades of sexual abuse allegations against the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. Our work helped ignite the #MeToo movement and spur cultural, corporate and legal changes around the globe. We were awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service and other honors.
After I wrote about how tough it is for hourly workers to pump breast milk on the job, readers created the first lactation pod; thousands can now be found across the United States. My article about the havoc that automated scheduling systems caused for Starbucks workers helped spark a national fair-scheduling movement. Amazon introduced paternity leave after a colleague and I documented punishing workplace practices there.
Recently, I’ve been working to illuminate the Supreme Court, including the behind-the-scenes story of how the justices overturned the constitutional right to abortion, the troubled investigation into the leak of that opinion, and a secret influence effort by anti-abortion activists and another alleged breach. I broke news about two provocative flags, associated with efforts to overturn the 2020 election, displayed at the homes of Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Whatever the topic, my mission is the same: to build people’s confidence in telling the truth, scrutinize the powerful, reflect the complexity and nuance of real life, never be intimidated, ensure that my sources stay safe, make independent assessments, and be fair to everyone involved.
Megan Twohey and I wrote “She Said,” our book about the Weinstein investigation, to take readers behind the scenes of this kind of work and show the impact that even a small number of truth-tellers can have. (It was adapted into a terrific film, though full disclosure: I’ve never done an interview while pushing a stroller.)
In my early 20s, I dropped out of law school to become a journalist and never looked back. I became the Arts & Leisure editor at The Times, a biographer of the Obamas, a once-in-a-while travel writer (my fantasy-escape job) and finally an investigative reporter.
It’s been an honor to earn the trust of many once-reluctant people: Syrian refugees, movie stars, Harvey Weinstein’s own accountant, people from the United States Supreme Court. Each relationship takes time and clear ground rules.
Like other Times reporters, I don’t participate in political events, donate to candidates or take public positions on issues. I want to come to every story with an open mind and be guided only by the truth. To anyone who assumes I have a certain political slant, I’d say: Harvey Weinstein was a lion of the liberal establishment.
