Welcome.

My name is Brett Samuels and I am a reporter at The Hill in Washington, D.C., where I've covered the White House since early 2019. That includes about two years of reporting on the Trump administration, and I'm now reporting on the Biden administration.

Before joining The Hill, I was a city reporter in Schenectady, New York. Prior to that, I attended Syracuse University, where worked at The Daily Orange, the independent student newspaper of Syracuse, New York.

In February 2016, I spent a week in New Hampshire covering Jeb Bush's presidential campaign for The Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

I previously interned for The Buffalo News, working mainly on the business desk and occasionally writing general assignment stories.
