Outgoing Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has asked Donald Trump to pardon Edward Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, and Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder.
Both Assange and Snowden have been charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 as they had leaked or published classified information. Gabbard posted a video on Twitter where she asked Trump to consider pardoning both men.
It is worth noting that Trump had recently pardoned Lt. General Michael Flynn, a former security adviser. Back in 2017, Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI. But later on, he tried to withdraw the plea. Hinting at this instance, Gabbard tweeted, writing: “Since you’re giving pardons to people, please consider pardoning those who, at great personal sacrifice, exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state.”
