Anna Giaritelli is an award-winning investigative journalist who joined the Washington Examiner in 2015 after first interning at the publication in 2010. As homeland security reporter, she spearheads coverage of immigration and national security. She has deployed to the nation's borders on more than 60 occasions, delivering unparalleled on-the-ground reports on complex cartel infrastructure, shifting migration dynamics, domestic terrorism, the multi-front war on drugs, and aviation security. Her dedicated reporting made her a finalist for the 2024 Dao Prize for Excellence in Investigative Journalism.
Beyond her reporting on federal law enforcement, Giaritelli is a prominent victim advocate and the author of the memoir, Under Assault: A Crime Reporter's True Story of Overcoming Sexual Trauma and Exposing Injustice. The book details her personal survival of a violent daylight attack in Washington, D.C., and chronicles her investigation into how local law enforcement manipulated crime data to erase cases like her own from public statistics.
Giaritelli regularly shares her insights on national television and radio networks, including Fox News, C-SPAN, BBC, and Newsmax. She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Asbury University.
