About
Elliot Williams is a CNN legal analyst and regular guest host on SiriusXM and WAMU, NPR’s Washington, DC, station. A sought-after commentator on electoral justice, civil rights, race relations, and other political, legal and cultural issues, he is also the author of the new book, Five Bullets: The Story of Bernie Goetz, New York's Explosive '80s, and the Subway Vigilante Trial That Divided the Nation (2026). Preet Bharara said, “Read this book to understand human nature,” and Anderson Cooper called it, “An amazing story, well told.” The Brooklyn-born son of Jamaican immigrants, Williams served formerly as a federal prosecutor and later as a senior official at the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.
