NSA Leaker Edward Snowden Charged With Espionage
U.S. prosecutors have formally charged NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, less than two weeks after he revealed his identity. Prosecutors have also asked Hong Kong authorities to arrest him
As revealed Friday by The Washington Post, prosecutors filed a sealed criminal complaint in the Eastern District of Virginia, charging Snowden with espionage, and theft and conversion of government property.
Snowden is the source of the top-secret documents that revealed previously unknown surveillance programs like NSA's PRISM, or GCHQ's Project Tempora. After coming out, Snowden went missing but is still believed to be in Hong Kong.
