Michael R. Isikoff is an American
investigative journalist who is currently the Chief Investigative
Correspondent at
Yahoo!
News. He is the co-author with
David Corn
of the book entitled
Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of
Donald Trump, published on March 13, 2018.[2]
From July 2010 to April 2014, Isikoff was the national investigative
correspondent for
NBC News.[3]
He resigned from NBC, citing the network's move in a direction that left him
with "fewer opportunities" for his work.[4]
He had previously worked for
Newsweek,
which he joined as an investigative correspondent in June 1994, and wrote
extensively on the U.S. government's
War on Terrorism, the
Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse,
campaign finance and congressional ethics abuses, presidential politics and
other national issues.
Isikoff had been prepared to break
the
Monica Lewinsky scandal, but several hours before going to print, the
article was killed by top Newsweek executives. As a result, the story
broke first on
Matt
Drudge's
Drudge Report the following morning. Isikoff's book on the subject,
Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story, was named Best Non-Fiction Book of
1999 by the
Book of the Month Club.
A September 23, 2016 Yahoo News article written by Isikoff was used by
Federal authorities in a FISA warrant application to justify the surveillance of
the foreign policy Trump adviser,
Carter
Page's alleged connection to Russian authorities during the
2016 presidential campaign.[13][14]

17: Trump-Russia dossier journalist doubts Christopher Steele's
claims
The journalist who was
among the first to report on the Trump-Russia dossier suspects many of the
allegations made in former British spy Christopher Steele's collection of memos
are "likely false.”
Yahoo chief investigative reporter
Michael Isikoff was one of the journalists who met with Steele during the 2016
campaign. On
Sept. 23, 2016, he wrote an article about former Trump campaign foreign
policy adviser Carter Page, which outlined how Page had attracted law
enforcement's attention for allegedly trying to establish back channels between
the campaign and Russia and for discussing the lifting of sanctions with
Moscow-linked officials.
Despite reporting accusations made by Steele, Isikoff told
John Ziegler's Free Speech Broadcasting podcast that many of the claims had
still not been corroborated.
