Whistleblower details UAP encounter: 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.
