Glenn Greenwald

Glenn Greenwald, born on March sixth, nineteen sixty-seven, is a prominent American journalist, author, and former lawyer known for his incisive commentary on civil liberties and foreign policy. He established a law firm in nineteen ninety-six that focused on First Amendment litigation, laying the groundwork for his future endeavors in journalism.

In October two thousand five, Greenwald began blogging about national security, driven by his concerns over the erosion of civil liberties during the George W. Bush administration following the September eleventh attacks. His critical stance on the Iraq War and American foreign policy has made him a significant voice in contemporary political discourse.

Greenwald's contributions to media outlets began in two thousand seven with Salon, followed by The Guardian in two thousand twelve. His groundbreaking reporting in June two thousand thirteen, which unveiled details of American and British global surveillance programs based on classified documents from Edward Snowden, played a crucial role in The Guardian's Pulitzer Prize win in two thousand fourteen. He was also a recipient of the George Polk Award in two thousand thirteen.

In two thousand fourteen, he co-founded The Intercept, serving as an editor until his resignation in October two thousand twenty. Following this, he launched his own newsletter and continued to make headlines with his investigative work. Notably, in June two thousand nineteen, he published leaked conversations related to Brazil's Operation Car Wash, revealing potential judicial bias against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva during the two thousand eighteen elections. Although he faced cybercrime charges in Brazil in January two thousand twenty, these were dismissed by a federal judge shortly thereafter. Currently, Greenwald hosts the show System Update on Rumble.
