Megan Twohey is a reporter for The New York Times. Twohey is a native of Evanston, Illinois.

Twohey is a graduate of Georgetown University, Class of 1998. She attended Evanston Township High School.

Twohey joined The New York Times as an investigative reporter in 2016.

Initially part of the U.S. presidential politics team, she helped to uncover Donald J. Trump's questionable treatment of women, his long history of paying no federal income taxes and his business ties to Russia.

Twohey was previously a reporter at Reuters News, the Chicago Tribune, and The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, where she wrote articles that revealed predatory doctors, untested rape kits and an underground network where people discarded adopted children they no longer wanted.

Twohey was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting and has won other national journalism awards.

Her work has sent abusers to prison and prompted new state laws to protect women and children.

Twohey co-authored the story on the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment allegations.

The piece detailed decades of alleged sexual harassment or unwanted physical contact from several women, including actress Ashley Judd, against the Hollywood mogul. "I would say that this was probably the hardest stories I've ever reported," Twohey said today on ABC's Good Morning America. "I was working with an extremely talented partner, Jodi Kantor, and we had the support all the way through the top of the New York Times and it was still really hard." She went on, "There was a code of silence. A lot of women were locked in confidentiality clauses and settlements and so, at the end of the day, we were able to obtain some on-the-record interviews, but we were also able to obtain internal company memos and other things in which these allegations were made, stretching back decades."
