Michael Isikoff is an investigative reporter who has broken multiple stories on international and presidential politics. After thirteen years as a reporter for the Washington Post, Isikoff left the paper for the magazine Newsweek after the editors of the Washington Post refused to run a story about the Paula Jones scandal. As a correspondent for Newsweek, he was prepared to break the sex scandal between Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton. Newsweek decided not to run the story, allowing Matt Drudge to break the story instead.
In addition to writing about the intelligence failures preceding the September 11 attacks, Isikoff has covered the War on Terrorism, the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, and other international and domestic stories. In 2007, he released the New York Times bestselling book Hubris: The Inside Story of Spin, Scandal and the Selling of the Iraq War. In 2010, Isikoff left Newsweek to become a national investigative correspondent for NBC News.
