Edward Snowden Clemency Advocated by Tulsi Gabbard, Trump Allies
Nov 30, 2024, 03:41 PM
Edward Snowden may receive clemency under the new Trump administration, as several powerful allies within the administration are advocating for this move. Tulsi Gabbard, the incoming Director of National Intelligence, is a notable supporter. As a Congresswoman, Gabbard co-sponsored a resolution with Matt Gaetz in 2020 calling for all charges against Snowden to be dropped. Additionally, Gabbard has expressed opposition to Section 702 of the Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Act, which authorizes electronic surveillance on American soil. The clemency push aligns with broader discussions around surveillance and whistleblower protections in the United States.
