Interview With 'Whitey' Bulger’s Former FBI Handler John Connolly | Greater Boston

Emily Rooney interviews former FBI agent John Connolly, who was mobster Whitey Bulger’s handler. While a confidential informant for the FBI, Bulger and his associates committed several murders.
Connolly was convicted on racketeering charges after a trial showed that he fed information to Bulger that allowed him to continue to evade justice. The 1998 Greater Boston interview touches on Connolly’s association with the Irish-American mob and his continuous proclamation of innocence.
