ⓘ About Paul B. Skousen
Paul, after grad school, worked for Ronald Reagan in the White House Situation Room. Additionally, he was an intelligence officer for the CIA. He gained national notoriety when he preserved a huge bag of shredded top secret documents, the “smoking gun” from the Iran-Contra Affair, which he sold off piecemeal as “shredded secrets from the White House”. This odd story was covered by Paul Harvey and some other media outlets. He has extensive experience interviewing military and political leaders in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, including the political advisor to Egypt’s President Mubarak, the ex-prime minister of Jordan, and some senior generals in the Israeli military.
