ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Samuel Lopez is an investigative journalist and legal analyst for USA Herald whose reporting is driven by one core belief: truth requires work. After more than 20-years’ operating inside the legal system, Lopez understands how facts are tested, how narratives are built, and—most importantly—how inconvenient evidence is often sidelined. He now applies that hard-earned insight to journalism.
Lopez’s reporting does not rely on press releases, consensus comfort, or institutional talking points. Instead, he examines primary data, follows patterns others overlook, and asks the questions that tend to make powerful systems uneasy. His work is designed for readers who want clarity over certainty, evidence over opinion, and the full record rather than a curated version of events.
At USA Herald, Lopez is known for original, evidence-driven investigations that cut through bias and expose what is said, what is unsaid, and why that difference matters.
