Announcement from National Editor Phil Rucker, Deputy National Editor Amy Fiscus and Justice and Immigration Editor Debbi Wilgoren:
We’re thrilled to announce that Jeremy Roebuck is joining The Washington Post to cover the Department of Justice, bringing deep experience and impressive energy to one of our most crucial coverage areas.
For the past decade, Jeremy has covered the “Power and Corruption” beat at The Philadelphia Inquirer, a high-metabolism assignment focused on federal courts, law enforcement and the intersection of politics and law.
He’s used deep sourcing and clear, vivid writing to chronicle the prosecutions of public figures including Bill Cosby, Liberian war criminals, current and former members of Congress, two Philadelphia city councilmen, the city’s district attorney and political bosses on both sides of the Delaware River.
Jeremy is regarded in the Inquirer’s newsroom as a strong collaborator and an innovative, versatile journalist, equally adept at anchoring coverage of the attempted assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., and authoring a pop-up newsletter during a high-profile trial.
