Susan Schmidt

Susan Schmidt

Susan Schmidt is an investigative reporter with the Wall Street Journal. She is best known for her work at The Washington Post, where she worked from 1983 until recently. While at the Post, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in 2006, for her probe into and exposure of lobbyist Jack Abramoff's corrupt activities. The story was published in installments and co-written with James V. Grimaldi and R. Jeffrey Smith, who were also co-recipients of the Pulitzer Prize. She is also largely credited with writing the first story about the Monica Lewinsky investigation, though it is also said that The Drudge Report leaked the story in the hours before that day's Post was distributed. Because of her non-partisan reporting, Ms. Schmidt has been the focus of criticism from both conservative and liberal media sources, though some consider her even-handedness a hallmark of good journalism.

She is co-author with Michael Weisskopf of "Truth at Any Cost: Ken Starr and the Unmaking of Bill Clinton (ISBN 0-06-019485-5)", which is about Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr and the Lewinsky scandal.

She is married to Glen Nishimura, the Op-Ed editor for USA Today.
