Bill Sammon was born and raised in Cleveland. Upon graduation from Miami University in 1982, he joined the News-Herald, a suburban daily near Cleveland, where he covered nuclear power and investigative projects.

In 1985, Bill Sammon won more awards from the Associated Press Society of Ohio than any other reporter in the state. In 1990, after a two-year stint as spokesman for a billion-dollar utility, he joined the staff of the Plain Dealer in Cleveland. His stories of voter fraud at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and corruption in other governmental agencies led to a variety of federal and state investigations, and resulted in numerous criminal convictions.

In 1995, Bill Sammon moved overseas to cover the civil war in Bosnia for The Stars and Stripes. During the fall of Srebrenica--the worst massacre in Europe since World War II--he was the only journalist to locate and interview the American military officer who was secretly running a refugee camp for survivors streaming out of the killing fields. Six months later, when President Clinton and Congress authorized the deployment of U.S. forces, Bill Sammon covered the historic crossing of the Sava River, and he rolled with the troops into the snow-covered minefields of Bosnia. Over the next year, he chronicled the cessation of hostilities, stumbled across previously undiscovered mass graves, and traveled to the Hague for the opening of the first international war crimes trial in half a century.

In August 1997, Bill Sammon moved back to the U.S. to become a national investigative reporter for the Washington Times. He covered the Teamsters tentacle of the Democratic fundraising scandal more thoroughly than any other journalist in the country. His comprehensive coverage of corruption in the nation's largest labor union were nominated by the Times for a Pulitzer Prize.

In 1998, Bill Sammon was turned loose on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. By September he was named senior White House correspondent, and covered the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. His office in the White House provided him with a ringside seat to proceedings.

Bill Sammon is a frequent guest on numerous television talk shows, including: Hardball with Chris Matthews on CNBC; The McLaughlin Group on NBC; Morning Line on MSNBC; The Crier Report on Fox News Channel; and Washington Journal on C-SPAN. He also appears on radio talk shows in the U.S. and abroad.
