"Ukraine Should Provide Opportunities" - Ex-CIA's John Kiriakou on Epstein, Deaths & More (Video)

In this 19 February 2026 published video, host Mario Nawfal talks with John Kiriakou on Epstein, deaths & more.

Kiriakou is a former CIA analyst and case officer who became a prominent whistleblower after being the first U.S. government official to publicly confirm that the agency used waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques” as official policy. He spent 15 years in the CIA, where he specialized in counterterrorism. While at the agency, he reportedly refused to be trained in or perform “enhanced interrogation techniques,” which he later described as torture. Kiriakou frequently appears on podcasts and news programs to discuss intelligence, surveillance, and government transparency.

Kiriakou was later indicted under the Espionage Act—the sixth whistleblower to be so charged by the Obama administration. In 2013, he was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison after pleading guilty to disclosing the name of a fellow CIA officer to a reporter. He served 23 months in prison, followed by house arrest, and was released in 2015. Kiriakou remains the only person imprisoned in connection with the CIA’s torture program, despite being the one who exposed it rather than the one who practiced it.
