About Andrea Mitchell in brief
Andrea Mitchell is the NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs & Senior Washington Correspondent. She reported on the 2008 presidential election campaign for NBC News broadcasts, including NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, Today, and MSNBC. Since 2008, Mitchell has hosted a program on NBC’s news and commentary channel MSNBC titled Andrea Mitchell Reports. She has appeared on and guest hosted Meet the Press, and is often a guest on Hardball with Chris Matthews and The Rachel Maddow Show. In 2019, Mitchell earned a Lifetime Achievement Emmy for her journalistic work. Mitchell was raised in a Jewish family, in New Rochelle, New York, the daughter of Cecile and Sydney Mitchell. Her brother Arthur and his wife, Nancy Mitchell, moved to British Columbia in the 1970s. He has dual American and Canadian citizenship, becoming a member of the Legislative Assembly of Yukon and the leader of the Yukon Liberal Party in the 2000s.
In 2005, Mitchell published a book titled Talking Back… to Presidents, Dictators, and Assorted Scoundrels, chronicling her work as a journalist. In October 2003, on the Capitol Report, Mitchell made a statement which Libby’s defense construed to mean it was widely known among journalists that Joe Wilson’s wife was in the Central Intelligence Agency. A report in The Washington Post that Mitchell had leaked Valerie Plame’s identity led to her being questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While Mitchell never appeared before the investigating grand jury or in I. Lewis Libby’s trial, she was on the subpoena list as a person of interest.
