FBI TRUE Exclusive Clip: The Agents Recall How They Got Key Evidence Against a Rogue Fellow Agent

On the Tuesday, November 21 episode of FBI TRUE, the agents interviewed reflect on a different kind of case: an investigation into one of their own.

The hour, “Hunting Graysuit: America’s Deadly Traitor”—a never-before-seen episode of the docuseries—dives into the case against Robert Hanssen, an agent-turned-Russian spy. But, naturally, trying to catch an agent unaware has its own challenges.

In the exclusive clip below, Eric O’Neill and Rich Garcia reflect on how a challenge to Hanssen about his marksmanship led to an opening to get a key piece of evidence from the agent…

Here’s what else to expect from the episode: “When Debra Smith (34-year FBI veteran who was the head of the Russian Counterintelligence Squad in Washington, D.C.) discovers the identity of a mole within the ranks of the FBI in 2001, Eric O’Neill, an FBI investigative specialist, is sent undercover – inside FBI Headquarters – to unearth information on Robert Hanssen, who would be revealed as the most damaging spy in FBI history, having sold vital national secrets to the Russians for decades. O’Neill had to win Hanssen’s trust to find out the extent of the damage done and help the FBI catch him in the act so they could bring him to justice for his years of espionage and betrayal. The assignment soon becomes dangerous with life-and-death stakes. O’Neill and his undercover supervisor, Rich Garcia, (an FBI Special Agent for 25 years who went undercover with a Colombian drug cartel and a legendary section chief at FBI Headquarters) open up to fellow agent Kristy Kottis about their first-hand experience with Hanssen.”
