Ryan J. Reilly

I cover the Justice Department and federal law enforcement for NBC News. Right now, I'm focused on the fallout of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and on Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and stop the peaceful transfer of power. My work has been cited by the FBI and by the Jan. 6 committee. I even wrote a book about the fallout of the Capitol attack: “Sedition Hunters: How January 6th Broke the Justice System.”
