The Epoch Times

Cece Woods is an independent investigative journalist and Editor-in-Chief of The Current Report, focusing on public corruption, institutional accountability, and high-profile criminal and civil cases. She has contributed reporting and commentary to The Epoch Times, covering public safety, law enforcement, and government oversight.
During the summer of 2018, Woods exposed a two-year law enforcement cover-up surrounding the Malibu Creek State Park shootings. Later that year, she provided the most comprehensive local news coverage of the Woolsey Fire, generating more than one million views across her social media platforms.
Since 2020, Woods was the only journalist consistently reporting on ongoing public corruption involving former Los Angeles Metro CEO Phil Washington. Working alongside political corruption expert Adam Loew, Washington, D.C.–based watchdog organizations, and national accountability leaders, her reporting played a key role in exposing misconduct that ultimately led to the withdrawal of Washington’s nomination to lead the Federal Aviation Administration.
With extensive experience covering complex legal matters and events of significant public interest, Woods brings rigorous, fact-based reporting, editorial independence, and deep local insight to her work, serving readers seeking transparency beyond mainstream narratives.
