Jo Becker is a reporter in the investigative unit at The New York Times and a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner. Her investigative targets have run the gamut from former Vice President Duck Cheney’s real influence in the Bush White House to Vladimir Putin’s kleptocracy to former President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. She has written about national security and President Obama’s secret “kill list,” dug into the global machine behind the rise of the far right, and documented the missteps that led to America’s failed intervention in Libya. But the Supreme Court has long been a topic of fascination to her. She has done long-form investigative profiles of three of the sitting justices. And her book, Forcing the Spring: Inside the Fight for Marriage Equality, chronicled the epic legal battle to bring that issue before the nation’s high court and was named one of the best of 2014 by the New York Times and the Washington Post.
