Texas senator Ted Cruz now says Edward Snowden is a "traitor" who should be "tried for treason." Cruz told the New York Times in a statement his current view on the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked the details of a classified surveillance program.
" It is now clear that Snowden is a traitor, and he should be tried for treason," he said, according to the Times.
That's a shift from Cruz's position in 2013 after Snowden went public about the NSA's program. Asked in June 2013 if Snowden was a traitor or a patriot, Cruz declined to answer:
