The Ex-CIA Agent Going Viral For A Trump Pardon

John Kiriakou, a 61-year-old ex-CIA officer who went to prison in 2013 for disclosing classified information related to the agency’s Middle East torture program, didn’t know he was going viral until his 16-year-old niece told him.
Now, he’s using his new platform to get an official presidential pardon continuing a campaign he’s been working on for nearly two decades.
