The split, expected to be completed later this year, has left questions of who will go where. Figures like Andrea Mitchell and José Díaz-Balart are staying with NBC News, while figures like Ken Dilanian are landing at MSNBC.

Hillyard also interviewed Vice President Mike Pence in 2018 following the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue shooting, among other high profile assignments.
