The true story behind one of the most damaging spies in American history

She’s been called one of the most damaging spies in U.S. history. Ana Montes passed secrets and information to the Cuban government for almost 17 years until her arrest just days after the 9/11 attacks. After nearly two decades behind bars, she was released from prison on Friday. Jim Popkin chronicled Montes' fascinating story and joined Amna Nawaz to discuss his new book "Code Name Blue Wren."
