He has interviewed multiple heads of state, grilled more than a dozen U.S. lawmakers, and run five miles along Cuban coastline for a roaming interview with Guantánamo’s chief prosecutor.A senior investigative reporter and editor for Law&Crime, Adam appeared as a guest on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with Lawrence O’Donnell to analyze the Mueller report and litigation between Trump over his finances at Deutsche Bank.
