Leah Remini Doubles Down on Anti-Scientology Crusade: I Want a Federal Investigation

Some moments from Leah Remini's childhood will never fade. Like the afternoon she rode a graffiti-covered B Train with her big sister, Nicole — at ages 8 and 10, their first time alone on New York City mass transit.
