What is the CIA Hiding? | Reality Check
In this episode of “Reality Check,” Ross Coulthart sits down with former CIA operative John Kiriakou, who served as a counterterrorism officer and was the first U.S. official to confirm CIA torture of detainees. He was punished for being a whistleblower, serving nearly two years in a federal prison. Since his release, he has become a leading advocate for transparency, civil liberties and whistleblower protections.
Together, they discuss President Donald Trump’s decision to capture ousted Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, whether U.S. troops will attack Iran and why the U.S. government won’t admit to a UAP retrieval operation.
