Mitchell disclosed on September 2011 that she had breast cancer and said “Mine was detected at my annual screening just a short time ago. Fortunately for me, I am one of the lucky ones; we caught it in the earliest stage, it hadn’t metastasized, and I’m already back on the job with a great prognosis.” In 2017, she established the Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy to “make its contribution to the constant search for democratic values, ideas, and institutions around the globe.”

In 2003, “The Washington Post” reported that Andrea had disclosed the name of CIA Agent Valerie Plame. Mitchell later said, “I was called by the CIA because it was incorrectly reported in ‘The Washington Post’ that I was the recipient of the leak prior to [Robert] Novak’s column coming out, and I had not been. So I was never questioned because I simply informed the FBI…that I had not been a recipient of the leak; in fact, I had heard about it from Novak’s column like everyone else.” Andrea described Plame, “It was commonly known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were busy working to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. But to be honest, I wasn’t aware of her actual job at the CIA and the fact that she had a covert role related to weapons of mass destruction, not until Bob Novak wrote it.”
