Desjardins to Cover Capitol Hill for CNN

Before joining CNN, Desjardins had worked across the media in print, television and radio — most recently for the Associated Press in D.C. and WIS-TV in South Carolina. Noteable: Desjardins speaks Russian, a language she picked up living in St. Petersburg for nearly two years.

She’ll cover day-to-day Congressional activity and do some enterprise reporting, according to CNN.

Her announcement brought a flood of congratulatory tweets, almost too many to count.
