Elite undercover agents take viewers inside the race to stop a man planning to assassinate top public officials in an all-new THE FBI DECLASSIFIED: “Enemy of the State” to be broadcast Wednesday, August 18 10PM, ET/PT on the CBS Television Network.

To do so, agents had to put their own lives on the line and go undercover to earn McLarnon’s trust.
