Trump’s Latest Interview Has People Thinking That He’s Open to Pardoning Edward Snowden

When it comes to President Donald Trump and clemency, a public statement that a person was treated “unfairly” is important. Could it mean that a pardon is on the horizon for Edward Snowden?

President Trump once tweeted that Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified documents to expose the U.S. government’s bulk collection of citizens’ data, was a “spy” who should be “executed.” On Thursday, the president was singing a different tune, and it was music to the ears of at least one libertarian Republican lawmaker.

“There are a lot of people that think that he is not being treated fairly. I mean, I hear that,” the president said in an interview with The New York Post. Trump discussed Snowden’s possible return to the U.S. from Russia without a threat of imprisonment.

Snowden himself noticed the Post story and stated the following on Twitter: “The last time we heard a White House considering a pardon was 2016, when the very same Attorney General who once charged me conceded that, on balance, my work in exposing the NSA’s unconstitutional system of mass surveillance had been ‘a public service.'”

President Trump has prefaced clemency in a number of cases by saying that the individual was treated unfairly, leading some to believe that he would be or should be open to pardoning Snowden.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), for one, quote-tweeted Snowden’s response and said Trump should issue a pardon.
