Personal Life

In September 2011, Mitchell revealed that she had breast cancer, stating "Mine was discovered during my annual screening just a short time ago. Luckily for me, I am one of the fortunate ones; we discovered it in the earliest stage, it hadn't spread, and I'm already back at work with a terrific prognosis." In 2017, she founded the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy to "contribute to the ongoing quest for democratic values, ideas, and institutions throughout the world."

In 2003, "The Washington Post" reported that Andrea had leaked the identity of CIA Agent Valerie Plame. Mitchell later stated, "I was called by the CIA because it was erroneously reported in 'The Washington Post' that I was the recipient of the leak before [Robert] Novak's column came out, and I had not been. So I was never questioned because I simply told the FBI…that I had not been a recipient of the leak; in fact, I had learned about it from Novak's column like everyone else." Andrea said of Plame, "It was widely known amongst those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. But frankly I wasn't aware of her actual role at the CIA and the fact that she had a covert role involving weapons of mass destruction, not until Bob Novak wrote it."
