#11: Talking Counterterrorism with Zainab Ahmad
Description
Being a prosecutor means you need to hone your skills of persuasion and storytelling. In complex cases which involve international components, it can be even harder to convince a jury of the defendant’s guilt based on the evidence you have. In this episode I’m joined by Zainab Ahmad, a former prosecutor with the US Department of Justice specialising in extraterritorial counter terrorism investigation. We talk about Zainab’s experiences within the DOJ, serving as senior assistant special counsel in Robert Mueller’s office investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, and how she navigated the complexities of international law enforcement.
