Ryan Christopher Lizza[1] (/ˈlɪzə/ LIZ-zə; born July 12, 1974) is an American journalist. His 2017 interview with White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci resulted in Scaramucci's dismissal.[2]
Later that year, Lizza was accused of sexual misconduct in the context of the Me Too movement.[3] After a decade-long run as The New Yorker's Washington correspondent,[4] the magazine's internal review of the allegation against Lizza led to his dismissal.[5]
Several other media organizations declined to terminate or bar Lizza from employment in light of their own investigations.[6][7] He was a senior political analyst for CNN[8] and is currently the chief Washington correspondent for Politico.

Last month, Penske called a meeting with Rolling Stone's female editorial staff .... Concerns were raised about how it would be perceived if Lizza were to work at Rolling Stone, and whether Lizza was ultimately a good fit.... But after Lizza was cleared by CNN, and Rolling Stone had conducted its own due diligence, the editors moved forward with freelance assignments, as originally planned.
