Life Uncut

Brittany Butler spent nine years as a targeting officer within the CIA's Directorate of Operations, Counterterrorism Center.

• Our perceptions of what someone in the CIA would look and be like vs reality
• Whether she told her loved ones what her real job was
• Meeting terrorists and whether Brittany was ever scared
• How the collaboration between CIA, FBI, secret services and police works
• Who was ultimately responsible for the security at former president Trump’s assassination attempt
• What Brittany is and isn’t allowed to speak about from her time in the CIA

• Advocacy for women’s rights in the Middle East
• Writing spy novels from a female perspective and sharing those experiences!
