National Security Lawyering: Brett Freedman on Congress & The Executive

Brett Freedman most recently served as the chief of staff for assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the National Security Division at the Department of Justice. Previously, Brett spent seven years working for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as both minority counsel for Senator Diann Feinstein and subsequently as general counsel for Chairman Mark Warner. Prior to returning to Capitol Hill, Mr. Freedman served in the Executive Branch as senior associate general counsel advising the director of the National Counterterrorism Center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and as an attorney-advisor in the National Security Agency's Office of General Counsel. In 2013, Brett was selected to serve as counsel to the President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies that stood up following the unauthorized disclosures by Edward Snowden. We are incredibly excited to welcome Brett, and we look forward to a conversation on his evolving career, national security lawyering in the legislative and executive branches, and checks and balances within foreign affairs and national security.

This is an ACS and NSG Co-Sponsored Event. Non-Koffee lunch will be served.
