A senior US legislator has accused the former Guardian journalist
Glenn Greenwald of illegally selling National Security Agency documents
provided to him by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Representative Mike Rogers, chairman of the House intelligence committee, suggested Greenwald was a “thief” after he worked with news organizations who paid for stories based on the documents.
“For personal gain, he’s now selling his access to information, that’s how they’re terming it … A thief selling stolen material is a thief,” Politico quoted Rogers as saying after a committee hearing on Tuesday. Rogers said his source for the information was “other nations' press services”.
