United Security - Interview with Matt Olsen

On this special episode of the United Security podcast, Ken Wainstein interviews former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center Matt Olsen. Ken and Olsen first met during their undergraduate careers at the University of Virginia, and went on to work together closely in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia and at Main Justice. 

Olsen reflects with Ken about his diverse work during the Obama administration, from his overview of the Guantanamo Bay detainee transfer process, to his position as General Counsel to the National Security Agency, and his reflections on the character and priorities of President-elect Biden.
