Snowden Defends Gabbard Amid Confirmation Fight

Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden weighed in Friday on the nomination of former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, following Thursday’s contentious confirmation hearing in the Senate.

“Her sin is that she told the truth about the government spying on Americans, and for that she is getting absolutely persecuted,” Snowden wrote in a post on the social platform X.

Snowden’s post paraphrased comments made by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., during an interview with Fox News on Thursday, and video of Hawley’s appearance was shared by Snowden in the post.
