Career

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.[3] During her time at Business Insider she also reported on the Steele dossier. She has been criticized by Erik Wemple of The Washington Post for lending undue credibility to the claims in the dossier.[4]

She joined The Atlantic as a staff writer in 2018; shortly thereafter, was named a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.[5][6]

Bertrand became a national security correspondent for Politico in 2019. She was among the leading writers covering the US intelligence community and the impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump.[7][8] In 2019, Bertrand was the first to break the story of the military's use of Donald Trump's Turnberry resort in Scotland.[9]

Bertrand joined CNN as a White House reporter covering national security in April 2021.[10]

Recognition

Bertrand was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 list in December, 2020.[11]
