Jonathan Swan (born August 7, 1985) is an Australian-American investigative journalist at The New York Times. Raised in Sydney, Swan started out in journalism with Australian papers before immigrating to the United States. In 2016, he joined the newly founded media outlet Axios, covering US President Donald Trump's first administration. Swan broke several major stories and became a rising figure in political journalism, contributing to Axios's rise to prominence. But some of his reports, such as his 2018 interview with Trump, were called out for lacking insight and critique. Swan interviewed Trump again in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He drew media attention and acclaim for fact-checking Trump's falsehoods and constantly challenging his remarks, which, according to journalists, exposed the president as unprepared. His stunned facial expressions made in response to Trump's statements became a viral internet meme. A year later, Axios won the Emmy Award for Best Edited Interview for Swan's work. Swan, who had been reporting on Trump's second administration, published a critical account of it with Maggie Haberman in 2026, titled Regime Change.
