Early life and career

Bertrand attended Vassar College and the London School of Economics, where she double-majored in political science and philosophy and graduated in 2014.[2][5][6]

Bertrand began her career at Business Insider as an intern in 2014 before being appointed as a political correspondent mainly covering US foreign policy and national security.[6][7] During her time at Business Insider she also reported on the Steele dossier. American journalist Erik Wemple criticised Bertrand and wrote that she gave undue credibility to the dossier.[8]

Bertrand joined The Atlantic as a staff writer in February 2018;[7] shortly thereafter, was named a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.[9][10]

Bertrand became a national security correspondent for Politico in 2019. She was among the writers covering the US intelligence community and the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.[11][12][13] She was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list in December 2020.[14]

Bertrand broke the story that more than 50 CIA officials signed a letter stating their opinion that emails purportedly written by Hunter Biden "had all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."[15]

Bertrand joined CNN as a White House reporter covering national security in April 2021.[3][4][16] She was promoted to Pentagon correspondent in 2023.

On September 27, 2023, Bertrand and her team won an Emmy for their breaking news coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
