US President Donald Trump considering a pardon for whistleblower Edward Snowden who leaked NSA information in 2013 and has since been taking asylum in Russia
Edward Snowden speaks via video link during a news conference in New York City, US on September 14, 2016.
US authorities for years have wanted Snowden returned to the United States to face a criminal trial on espionage charges brought in 2013.RIA news agency the United States should not simply pardon him, but should drop all possible prosecutions against Snowden as he had not committed any crimes. "It seems to be a split decision," Trump told reporters. "Many people think he should be somehow treated differently. And other people think he did very bad things."Some civil libertarians have praised Snowden for revealing the extraordinary scope of America's digital espionage operations including domestic spying programs that senior US officials had publicly insisted did not exist.
