Jill Wine-Banks, a distinguished attorney and MSNBC Legal Analyst, is a prominent figure in political and legal discourse. Her association with MSNBC began in July 2017 when she made her debut appearance to comment on an opinion piece she wrote in the Chicago Tribune titled “Former Watergate Prosecutor: Comey’s Firing Is As Bad as the Saturday Night Massacre.” This initial commentary led to her being hired as an MSNBC Contributor, marking the beginning of her impactful tenure with the network.

Jill's influence extends beyond traditional news analysis. She co-hosts two top-rated podcasts: #SistersinLaw and iGenPolitics, where she offers insights into governance, corruption, and cultural dynamics.

Meanwhile, in iGenPolitics, Jill collaborates with Victor Shi to engage audiences of all ages in pressing national issues. (Currently, iGenPolitics is on hiatus as Victor works on the Biden campaign.)

Beyond her two podcasts, Jill is a celebrated author, with her memoir, The Watergate Girl, optioned for a film adaptation by Katie Holmes/Noelle Productions. She continues to contribute op-eds to various esteemed publications, including NBC, the Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Politico, MSNBC, and the Huffington Post.
