Author James Risen joins this episode of The New Abnormal podcast to share how the abuses committed by the FBI and CIA were finally exposed and the man who held them to account.
In 1974, a journalist named Seymour “Sy” M. Hersh published a piece that exposed the CIA for spying on American anti-war leaders.
“Hersh’s story came out right before Christmas in December 1974, and it immediately led to calls for congressional investigations,” Risen tells TNA co-host Andy Levy. “The Senate and the House both began to talk about congressional investigations. Jerry Ford, who was the new president, wanted to try to stop that. He wanted to try and figure out how to tamp down this growing scandal. And so he called in the executive editor of thewho had just broken this story. He sits down with them and tells them, ‘Oh, there’s a lot of things that should stay secret. If you only knew about all these other things, we gotta keep ’em secret.
Risen shares the full story on the show, along with a look back at how Church became so influential, the specific role that he played in holding the CIA and FBI to account, and his impact on civil rights when it came to juries.
