Jeffrey is an eminent journalist, having served as senior editor at The New Yorker and deputy editor of the New York Posts Outlook section. His work has also appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian.
Jeffrey has published four novels that dissect the social world of elite Washington.
