The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey is one of the most well-sourced reporters covering President Donald Trump and his inner circle.
Called a "West Wing savant" by Vanity Fair, Dawsey broke the news of Trump's "sh*thole countries" comment, reported how the president wants to "aggressively seize private land" for his border wall, and how Jared Kushner used private email to conduct White House business, among a blizzard of other scoops.

The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey is one of the most well-sourced reporters covering President Donald Trump and his inner circle.
Called a “West Wing savant” by Vanity Fair, Dawsey broke the news of Trump’s “sh*thole countries” comment, reported how the president wants to “aggressively seize private land” for his border wall, and how Jared Kushner used private email to conduct White House business, among a blizzard of other scoops.
His interviews with the president have been impactful. He regularly appears on CNN, and twice won the White House Correspondents Award for news reporting on the White House.
A former reporter for The Wall-Street Journal and Politico, Dawsey has deeply reported on figures like New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, and others.
Before becoming one of the most prolific reporters in the Trump era prior to turning 30, Dawsey was editor of his campus newspaper, The Gameock, at the University of South Carolina, and edited his high school student newspaper.
On Thursday, October 3, he will talk about what it’s like being a reporter on Trump’s White House, but also about the relationship building that goes into becoming a responsible journalist and the balance of those relationships with doing a public service that provides citizens with the information they need to be self governing.
