During a recent hearing, Democratic Vice Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Mark Warner, questioned Tulsi Gabbard about her past statements regarding Edward Snowden and Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Gabbard was asked about her previous praise for Edward Snowden, to which she acknowledged that he had broken the law but also highlighted the importance of the information he revealed about government surveillance programs. She declined to comment on whether she still believed Snowden was brave and stated that she would not advocate for any actions related to his potential pardon.
