The Unwanted Spy

In 2015, former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling was sentenced to 3 and a half years in prison for violating the Espionage Act by leaking details of a top-secret operation to a journalist - a charge he has always denied. Jeffrey believes that during his time at the Agency, he was discriminated against for the color of his skin - and that his complaints made him a target.
The US Government's position is clear. In this episode of True Spies, Daisy Ridley hears Jeffrey's side of the story.
