Snowden Claims 'Deceptive' NSA Still Has Proof He Tried to Raise Surveillance Concerns
On June 4, VICE News published more than 800 pages of declassified NSA documents that shed new light on the contentious issue of whether Edward Snowden raised concerns about the agency's surveillance programs while he still worked there. Since then, Snowden has alleged there's additional evidence that has not yet been made public.
The former NSA contractor has long maintained that his 2013 leak of a trove of highly classified documents was a last resort after his efforts to sound the alarm about the agency's secret spy programs went largely ignored.
The NSA, meanwhile, has rejected Snowden's narrative, insisting that the closest he got to raising concerns was sending a single email asking a question about the interpretation of legal authorities.
