Rebecca Shabad
I am a politics reporter covering breaking political news for NBC News, with 13 years of experience reporting on Washington. I cover legal developments involving former President Trump, the Biden administration, presidential campaigns, Congress and foreign policy. I live-blogged Trump’s first criminal trial as well as all 10 congressional hearings held by the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6 insurrection. I have also written enterprise stories about medication abortion and gun restrictions imposed by the executive branch. For my first two years at NBC, I was the sole digital congressional reporter, covering both the House and Senate.
