I Was an FBI Agent — Then I Became a Whistleblower | Greg Dillon
Description
Greg Dillon grew up in Connecticut, studied criminal justice at the University of New Haven under renowned forensic scientist Dr. Henry Lee, became a Branford police officer, and later joined the FBI as a special agent. After five years with the Bureau, he left to become a supervising investigator at the Connecticut Chief State's Attorney's Office — where he uncovered something he never expected. Greg discovered that FBI agents were falsifying information in federal arrest warrant affidavits and attributing those statements to him and his investigators without their knowledge. When he reported what was happening up the chain of command, instead of being protected, he says his supervisor helped cover it up.
