🚨 BREAKING: Blackwater’s “Queen of Lies” Jenny Slatten Breaks 10-Year Silence in Shocking Prison Interview – Claims CIA Ordered the 2007 Nisour Square Massacre to Cover Up a Secret Op

The internet is ablaze after a leaked audio clip from behind bars in Leavenworth appears to capture Jenny Slatten, the only Blackwater (now Academi) guard convicted of murder for the 2007 Nisour Square massacre in Baghdad, delivering a bombshell new account.
