Nearly 50 years after The Pentagon Papers were leaked, a movie about that ground-breaking moment and the man who leaked them is up for an Academy Award. For The National Interview, Adrienne Arsenault sits down with Daniel Ellsberg, who risked everything to tell Americans that the Nixon government was lying to them about the Vietnam War.
