Kate Glassman Bennett Leaves Politico

What will be the KGB File's fate?

Kate Glassman Bennett, keeper of the KGB File, is leaving Politico. According to The Washington Post’s Erik Wemple, this week’s posts will be Bennett’s last for the news outlet.

When KGB File launched in January, it was supposed to be Politico’s D.C. gossip blog, a hub for whispers from and about the political set. Politico previously had a similar column called “Click,” but it was shuttered in 2013. At the time of the roll out, Politico editor in chief Susan Glasser set high expectations for the Vegas reporter, saying:

Kate promises a column very much in the spirit of the legendary late Diana McClellan, whose Ear in the Washington Star was the original must read in a company town where the backstage happenings of its congresspeople and Cabinet officers, columnists and chefs have always helped chart the ebbs and flow of power.

Bennett,
