US President Donald Trump has promised that he will seriously consider pardoning former National Security Agency (NSA) employee Edward Snowden.
“I’ll study it. I am not very familiar with Snowden’s situation. But I will study it very carefully, ”he told reporters.
As Trump noted, in American society, opinions on Snowden’s pardon differ, often remain polar. Many people believe that he was treated unfairly.
We will remind, the Former NSA employee transferred to the American media a number of classified materials about the surveillance programs of the US and British intelligence services on the network. In 2013, Russia granted Snowden temporary asylum on the condition that he cease his activities against the United States.
