0:00.0 | This is exactly right. |
0:06.0 | I'm CBS News correspondent Major Garrett, host of the podcast Agent of Betrayal, the Double Life of Robert Hanson. |
0:13.2 | During the Cold War, FBI agent Robert Hanson traded classified secrets to the Kremlin in exchange |
0:18.9 | for cash and jewels. |
0:20.5 | In the podcast, you'll hear from Hanson's closest friends, family members, victims, and |
0:24.8 | colleagues for the most comprehensive telling of who Robert Hanson really was. |
0:28.8 | Binge the entire series Now, Agent of Betrayal, The Double Life of Robert Hanson is available wherever you get your |
