Glenn Edward Greenwald (born March 6, 1967) is an American journalist, author, and former lawyer.[2][3][4]
In 1996, Greenwald founded a law firm concentrating onFirst Amendment litigation. He began blogging on national security issues in October 2005, when he was becoming increasingly concerned with what he viewed as attacks on civil liberties by theGeorge W. Bush administration in the aftermath of theSeptember 11 attacks.[5][6] He became a vocal critic of theIraq War and has maintained a critical position of American foreign policy.
Greenwald started contributing toSalon in 2007, and toThe Guardian in 2012. In June 2013, while atThe Guardian, he began publishing a series of reports detailing previously unknown information about American and Britishglobal surveillance programs based on classified documents provided byEdward Snowden. His work contributed toThe Guardian's 2014Pulitzer Prize win and he was among a group of three reporters who won the2013 George Polk Award. In 2014, he cofoundedThe Intercept, of which he was an editor until he resigned in October 2020. Greenwald subsequently started publishing his own newsletter.[7]
Greenwald was born inQueens in New York City to parents Arlene and Daniel Greenwald.[12] Greenwald's family moved toLauderdale Lakes, Florida, when he was an infant;[13][14][15] his parents separated when he was six.[16] Greenwald is Jewish, but grew up without practicing an organized religion, did not have abar mitzvah, and has said his "moral precepts aren't informed in any way by religious doctrine".[17] Greenwald attended Nova Middle School andNova High School inDavie, Florida.[18]
Inspired by his grandfather's time on the then-Lauderdale Lakes City Council, Greenwald, still in high school, decided to run at the age of 17 for anat-large seat on the council in the 1985 elections.[19] He was unsuccessful, coming in fourth place with 7% of the total vote.[20] In 1991, Greenwald ran again, coming in third place with 18% of the vote.[20][21] After that, he stopped running for political office and instead focused on law school.[15]
He received aB.A. in philosophy fromGeorge Washington University in 1990 and aJ.D. fromNew York University School of Law in 1994.[13][15] His experiences on his college debate team influenced his career path.[22] "That developed, I think, a lot of the skills and interest that ended up guiding my future career," he said in an interview.
Greenwald practiced law in the litigation department atWachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz from 1994 to 1995. In 1996, he co-founded his own litigation firm, Greenwald Christoph & Holland (later renamed Greenwald Christoph PC), where he litigated cases concerning issues of U.S. constitutional law and civil rights.[13][14] He workedpro bono much of the time, and his cases included representing white supremacistMatthew Hale in Illinois, who, Greenwald believed, was wrongly imprisoned,[23] and the neo-NaziNational Alliance.[24]
About his work in First Amendment speech cases, Greenwald toldRolling Stone magazine in 2013, "to me, it's a heroic attribute to be so committed to a principle that you apply it not when it's easy ... not when it supports your position, not when it protects people you like, but when it defends and protects people that you hate".[25]
Later, according to Greenwald, "I decided voluntarily to wind down my practice in 2005 because I could, and because, after ten years, I was bored with litigating full-time and wanted to do other things which I thought were more engaging and could make more of an impact, including political writing."[14]
In February 2007, Greenwald became a contributing writer for theSalon website, and the new column and blog supersededUnclaimed Territory, althoughSalon featured hyperlinks to it in Greenwald's dedicated biographical section.[26][27]
In a 2010 article forSalon, Greenwald describedU.S. Army PrivateChelsea Manning as "awhistle-blower acting with the noblest of motives" and "a national hero similar toDaniel Ellsberg".[34] In an article forThe Raw Story published in 2011, Greenwald criticized the prison conditions in which Manning was held after her arrest by military authorities.[35]
In July 2012, Greenwald joined the American wing of Britain'sGuardian newspaper to contribute a weekly column and a daily blog.[36][37] Greenwald wrote onSalon that the move offered him "the opportunity to reach a new audience, to further internationalize my readership, and to be re-invigorated by a different environment" as reasons for the move.[36][38]
Greenwald was initially contacted anonymously in late 2012 byEdward Snowden, a former contractor for the U.S.National Security Agency,[39] who said he held "sensitive documents" that he wished to share.[40] Greenwald found the measures that Snowden asked him to take to secure their communications too annoying to employ.[39] Snowden then contacted documentary filmmakerLaura Poitras about a month later in January 2013.[41]
According toThe Guardian, Snowden was attracted to Greenwald and Poitras by aSalon article written by Greenwald detailing how Poitras' films had made her a "target of the government".[40][42] Greenwald began working with Snowden in either February[43] or in April, after Poitras asked Greenwald to meet her inNew York City, at which point Snowden began providing documents to them both.[39]
As part of theglobal surveillance disclosure, the first of Snowden's documents were published on June 5, 2013, inThe Guardian in an article by Greenwald reporting on thetop-secretUnited States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order requiringVerizon to provide the National Security Agency with telephonemetadata for all calls between the U.S. and abroad, as well as all domestic calls.[44][45][46] Greenwald said that Snowden's documents exposed the "scale of domestic surveillance under Obama".[47] In September 2021,Yahoo! News reported that in 2017, after the publication of theVault 7 files, "top intelligence officials lobbied the White House" to designate Glenn Greenwald as an "information broker" to allow for more investigative tools against him, "potentially paving the way" for his prosecution. However, the White House rejected this idea. "I am not the least bit surprised," Greenwald told Yahoo! News, "that the CIA, a longtimeauthoritarian andantidemocratic institution, plotted to find a way to criminalize journalism and spy on and commit other acts of aggression against journalists."[48]
In a statement delivered before theBrazilian National Congress in early August 2013, Greenwald testified that the U.S. government had usedcounterterrorism as a pretext for clandestine surveillance to compete with other countries in the "business, industrial and economic fields".[53][54]
On December 18, 2013, Greenwald told theCommittee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of theEuropean Parliament that "most governments around the world are not only turning their backs on Edward Snowden but also on their ethical responsibilities".[55] Speaking via avideo link, Greenwald said: "It is the UK through their interception of underwaterfibre optic cables, that is a primary threat to the privacy ofEuropean citizens when it comes to their telephone and emails". In a statement given to theEuropean Parliament, Greenwald said:
The ultimate goal of the NSA, along with its most loyal, one might say subservient junior partner the British agencyGCHQ – when it comes to the reason why the system of suspicion of surveillance is being built and the objective of this system – is nothing less than the elimination ofindividual privacy worldwide.
On October 15, 2013, Greenwald leftThe Guardian to pursue a "once-in-a-career dream journalistic opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline".[57][58]
Financial backing forThe Intercept was provided byeBay founderPierre Omidyar.[59][60] Omidyar told media criticJay Rosen that the decision was fueled by his "rising concern about press freedoms in the United States and around the world". Greenwald, along with his colleaguesLaura Poitras andJeremy Scahill, initially were working on creating a platform online to support independent journalism, when they were approached by Omidyar, who was hoping to establish his own media organization. That news organization,First Look Media, launched its first online publication,The Intercept, on February 10, 2014.[61] Greenwald initially served as editor, alongside Poitras and Scahill. The organization is incorporated as a501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable entity.[62][63]
The Intercept was in contact during the 2016 presidential campaign withGuccifer 2.0, who relayed some of the material aboutHillary Clinton, gathered via a data breach, to Greenwald. The Grugq, a counterintelligence specialist, reported in October 2016: "The Intercept was both aware that the e-mails were from Guccifer 2.0, that Guccifer 2.0 has been attributed to Russian intelligence services, and that there is significant public evidence supporting this attribution."[64]
By 2019, he was serving as anIntercept columnist without any control over the site's news reporting.[65] On October 29, 2020, Greenwald resigned fromThe Intercept, giving his reasons as political censorship and contractual breaches by the editors, who he said had prevented him from reporting onallegations concerning Joe Biden's conduct with regard to China and Ukraine and had demanded that he not publish the article in any other publication.[66] Betsy Reed, the editor-in-chief, disputed Greenwald's accusations and claims of censorship, and accused him of presenting dubious claims by theTrump campaign as journalism.[66][67][68] Greenwald said he would begin self-publishing his work, and had begun "exploring the possibility of creating a new media outlet."[69][70] After resigning fromThe Intercept, Greenwald published his article about Biden and his correspondence with the editors ofThe Intercept.[66]
After his resignation fromThe Intercept, Greenwald began publishing reporting and commentary on Substack, an online, subscriber-based newsletter platform, where (as of June 2023), he amassed over 295,000 subscribers.[71] In 2023, Greenwald announced that he would begin hostingSystem Update, a nightly, one-hour live program onRumble, an alternative to video-hosting platform YouTube.[72]System Update consists of a monologue concerning topical political issues, often related to media criticism and developments within the American security state, as well as interviews with guests. Such guests have included academics, political figures, and journalistsJeffrey Sachs,John Mearsheimer,Edward Snowden,Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,Lee Fang, andMatt Taibbi, among others. After moving to Rumble, Greenwald republished his Substack work toLocals, Rumble's Substack alternative.
According to Simon van Zuylen-Wood writing forNew York magazine in early 2018, Greenwald has "repositioned himself as a bomb-throwing media critic" since the Snowden revelations.[73] Greenwald has been a frequent guest onFox News,[74][75] particularly onTucker Carlson Tonight.[76][75] He said thatMSNBC had banned him from appearing on the network because of his criticisms ofRachel Maddow.[77]
2019 Operation Car Wash Telegram chat leaks in Brazil
On June 9, 2019, Greenwald and journalists frominvestigative journalism magazineThe Intercept Brasil where he was an editor,released several messages exchanged viaTelegram between members of the investigation team ofOperation Car Wash – calledCar Leaks. The messages implicated members of Brazil'sjudiciary system and of the Operação Lava-Jato taskforce, including former judge and Minister of JusticeSergio Moro, and lead prosecutorDeltan Dallagnol, in the violation of legal and ethical procedures during the investigation, trial and arrest of former presidentLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with the alleged objective of preventing him from running for a third term in the2018 Brazilian general election, among other crimes. The FBIwas also involved. Following the leak,Folha de São Paulo andVeja confirmed the authenticity of the messages and worked in partnership withThe Intercept Brasil to sort the remaining material in their possession before releasing it.[78]
On July 23,Brazilian Federal Police announced that they had arrested and were investigatingAraraquara hackerWalter Delgatti Neto for breaking into the authorities' Telegram accounts. Neto confessed to the hack and to having given copies of thechat logs to Greenwald. Police said the attack had been accomplished by abusing Telegram's phone number verification and exploiting vulnerabilities invoicemail technology in use in Brazil by using a spoofed phone number.The Intercept neither confirmed nor denied Neto being their source, citingfreedom of the press provisions of the 1988Brazilian Constitution.[79]
Greenwald faced death threats andhomophobic harassment from Bolsonaro supporters due to his reporting on theTelegram messages.[80] ANew York Times profile by Ernesto Londoño about Greenwald and his husbandDavid Miranda, a left-wing congressman, described how the couple became targets of homophobia from Bolsonaro supporters as a result of the reporting.[81][82]The Washington Post reported that Greenwald had been targeted with fiscal investigations by the Bolsonaro government, allegedly as retaliation for the reporting,[83] and AP called Greenwald's reporting "the first test case for a free press" under Bolsonaro.[84]
In reporting on retaliation against Greenwald from the Bolsonaro government and its supporters,The Guardian said the articles published by Greenwald andThe Intercept "have had an explosive impact on Brazilian politics and dominated headlines for weeks", adding that the exposés "appeared to show prosecutors in the sweeping Operation Car Wash corruption inquiry colluding with Sergio Moro, the judge who became a hero in Brazil for jailing powerful businessmen, middlemen and politicians."[85]
On August 9, after Bolsonaro threatened to imprison Greenwald for this reporting,[86] Supreme Court justiceGilmar Mendes ruled that any investigation of Greenwald in connection with the reporting would be illegal under the Brazilian constitution, citing press freedom as a "pillar of democracy".[87]
In November 2019, Brazilian journalistAugusto Nunes physically attacked Greenwald during a joint appearance on a Brazilian radio program. Immediately prior to the attack, Nunes had argued that a family judge ought to take away Greenwald's adopted children, prompting Greenwald to call him a coward. Two of Jair Bolsonaro's sons praised Nunes' actions, while former presidential candidateCiro Gomes defended Greenwald.[88]
In January 2020, Greenwald was charged by Brazilian prosecutors with cybercrimes,[8] in a move that Trevor Timm inThe Guardian described as retaliation for his reporting.[89] Left-wing news siteThe Canary described the charges as "ominously similar to the indictment ofJulian Assange" and quotedMax Blumenthal andJen Robinson as remarking on the similarity of the two sets of charges.[90] Greenwald received support fromThe New York Times which published an editorial stating "Mr. Greenwald's articles did what a free press is supposed to do: They revealed a painful truth about those in power". TheFreedom of the Press Foundation made a statement asking the Brazilian government to "halt its persecution of Greenwald".[91] In February 2020, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Greenwald, citing a ruling from Supreme Court justice Gilmar Mendes that shielded him.[9]
Greenwald's first book,How Would a Patriot Act? Defending American Values From a President Run Amok, was published byWorking Assets in 2006. It was aNew York Times Best Seller,[92] and ranked No. 1 onAmazon.com, both before its publication (due to orders based on attention from 'UT' readers and other bloggers) and for several days after its release, ending its first week at No. 293.[93]
Greenwald wrote the bookSecuring Democracy: My Fight for Press Freedom and Justice in Brazil as a follow-up toNo Place to Hide. It was published byHaymarket Books in April 2021. It describes his publication in 2019 of leaked telephone calls, audio and text messages related toOperation Car Wash and the retaliation he received fromJair Bolsonaro's government.[99][100]
He criticized the policies of the Bush administration and those who supported it, arguing that most of the American "corporate news media" excused Bush's policies and echoed the administration's positions rather than asking hard questions.[101][102] Greenwald accused mainstream U.S. media of "spreading patriotic state propaganda".[103]
Greenwald has criticized some of the policies of thefirst Trump administration, saying, "I think the Trump White House lies more often. I think it lies more readily. I think it lies more blatantly."[104]
During the Trump administration, Greenwald was a critic of the Democratic Party, alleging a double standard in their foreign policy: "Democrats didn't care when Obama huggedSaudi despots, and now they pretend to care when Trump embraces Saudi despots orEgyptian ones."[104]
Greenwald expressed skepticism of theJames Clapper-led US intelligence community's assessment that Russia's governmentinterfered in the 2016 presidential election.[73][104] Regardless of the accuracy of the assessment, he doubted its significance,[73] stating "This is stuff we do to them, and have done to them for decades, and still continue to do."[104]
Susan Hennessey, an NSA lawyer at the time of Snowden's NSA revelations, toldMarcy Wheeler writing forThe New Republic in January 2018, that Greenwald was only relaying "surface commentary" rather than evidence for or against Russian interference in the 2016 election.[105] Tamsin Shaw wrote inThe New York Review of Books in September 2018: "Greenwald has repeatedly, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, decried as Russophobia the findings that Putin ordered interference in the 2016 US presidential election".[106]
Greenwald remained doubtful of assertions that the Trump presidential campaign worked with the Russians after the release of the letter about the Mueller's findings from attorney generalWilliam Barr in late March 2019. He called the investigation "a scam and a fraud from the beginning" in an appearance onDemocracy Now!.[107] Greenwald told Tucker Carlson onFox News: "Let me just say, [MSNBC] should have their top host on primetime go before the cameras and hang their head in shame and apologize for lying to people for three straight years, exploiting their fears to great profit".[108] He said he is formally banned from appearing on MSNBC, citing confirmations from two unnamed producers for the network, for his criticisms of its coverage of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. MSNBC stated it has not barred Greenwald from appearing on its programs.[109]
After the release of Special CounselRobert Mueller's report, in April 2019 he wrote that the press continued to report that Trump's campaign conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.[110] In January 2020, Greenwald described the various assertions regarding Russian influence on American politics as "At the very best ... wildly exaggeratedhysteria and the kind ofjingoistic fear-mongering that's plagued U.S. Politics since the end ofWWII".[111]
Greenwald has criticized the Israeli government, including its foreign policy,influence on U.S. politics, and theIsraeli occupation of theWest Bank.[112][113] In May 2016, Greenwald accusedThe New York Times of "abject cowardice" in its use of quotation marks for the occupation of Gaza and alleged "journalistic malfeasance" in the incident "out of fear of the negative reaction by influential factions". After Greenwald's criticism, theNew York Times removed the quotation marks in the article he had criticized.[114][115]
Following theCharlie Hebdo murders in January 2015,David Bernstein inThe Washington Post wrote that Greenwald (in anIntercept article) "certainly appears to believe thatDer Stürmer-like anti-Semitic cartoons are the moral and logical equivalent of making fun of Moses or Muhammed".[116]
In a November 2018Guardian article,Luke Harding and Dan Collyns cited anonymous sources which stated that Trump's former campaign managerPaul Manafort held secret meetings with WikiLeaks founderJulian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2013, 2015, and 2016.[117] Greenwald said that if Manafort had entered the Ecuadorian consulate, there would be evidence from the surrounding cameras.[118] Greenwald, a former contributor toThe Guardian, stated that the paper "has such a pervasive and unprofessionally personal hatred for Julian Assange that it has frequently dispensed with all journalistic standards in order to malign him."[119]
Greenwald criticized the government's decision to charge Assange under theEspionage Act of 1917 for his role in the 2010 publication of theIraq War documents leak. Greenwald wrote inThe Washington Post: "The Trump administration has undoubtedly calculated that Assange's uniquely unpopular status across the political spectrum [in the United States] makes him the ideal test case for creating a precedent that criminalizes the defining attributes of investigative journalism."[120]
In October 2018, Greenwald said that Bolsonaro was "often depicted wrongly in the Western media as being Brazil'sTrump, and he's actually much closer to say Filipino PresidentDuterte or even the Egyptian dictator Generalel-Sisi in terms of what he believes and what he's probably capable of carrying out."[121]
Greenwald said that Bolsonaro could be a "good partner" for President Trump "If you think that the U.S. should go back to kind of theMonroe Doctrine as [National Security Adviser]John Bolton talked openly about, and ruling Latin America, and U.S. interests".[122]
In January 2020, Brazilian federal prosecutors charged Greenwald with cybercrimes, alleging he was part of a "criminal organization" that hacked into the cellphones of prosecutors and other public officials in 2019. Prosecutors said he played a "clear role in facilitating the commission of a crime" by, for example, encouraging hackers to delete archives to cover their tracks. Greenwald, who was not detained, called the charges "an obvious attempt to attack a free press in retaliation for the revelations we reported about Minister of Justice Sergio Moro and the Bolsonaro government."[124] In February 2020, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Greenwald, citing a ruling from Supreme Court justice Gilmar Mendes that shielded him.[9]
In 2005, Greenwald criticizedillegal immigration, saying that it would result in a "parade of evils" and arguing that large numbers of illegal immigrants could not be assimilated and would "wreak havoc". He subsequently disavowed that belief.[125][126]
Greenwald has been placed on numerous "top 50" and "top 25" lists of columnists in the United States.[144] In June 2012,Newsweek magazine named him one of America's Top Ten Opinionists, saying that "a righteous, controlled, and razor-sharp fury runs through a great deal" of his writing, and "His independent persuasion can make him a danger or an asset to both sides of the aisle."[145]
Josh Voorhees, writing forSlate, reported that in 2013 congressmanPeter King (R-NY) suggested Greenwald should be arrested for his reporting on the NSAPRISM program and NSA leaker Edward Snowden.[146] JournalistAndrew Ross Sorkin declared: "I would arrest [Snowden] and now I'd almost arrest Glenn Greenwald."[147] He later made an apology for his statement, which Greenwald accepted.
Standing ovation for Greenwald, Germany, December 2014
In a February 2014 interview, Greenwald said he risked detention if he reentered the U.S., but said that he would "force the issue" on principle, and return for the "many reasons" he had to visit, including if he won a prestigious award of which he was rumoured to be the winner.[148] Later that month, it was announced that he was, in fact, among the recipients of the 2013Polk Awards, to be conferred April 11, 2014, in Manhattan.[149] In a subsequent interview, Greenwald stated he would attend the ceremony.[150] On April 11, Greenwald and Laura Poitras accepted the Polk Award in Manhattan. Their entry into the United States was trouble-free and they traveled with an ACLU attorney and a German journalist "to document any unpleasant surprises". Accepting the award, Greenwald said he was "happy to see a table full ofGuardian editors and journalists, whose role in this story is much more integral than the publicity generally recognizes".[151] On April 14, thePulitzer Prize for Public Service was awarded jointly toThe Guardian andThe Washington Post for revelation of widespread secret surveillance by the NSA. Greenwald, along withLaura Poitras andEwen MacAskill, had contributed toThe Guardian′s reporting.[152]
In 2014, Sean Wilentz wrote inThe New Republic, that some of Greenwald's opinions werewhere the far-left and far-right meet, characterizing his views as falling "often, but not always under the rubric oflibertarianism."[153] In a 2017 article inThe Independent, Brian Dean wrote: "Greenwald has been critical of Trump, but is perceived by many as someone who spends far more time criticising 'Dems' and 'liberals' (analysis of his Twitter account tends to give this impression)."[154] Simon van Zuylen-Wood in a 2018 piece forNew York magazine entitled "Does Glenn Greenwald Know More Than Robert Mueller?" described "a new-seeming category of Russia-skeptic firebrands sometimes called the alt-left."[155] In February 2019,Max Boot wrote inThe Washington Post: "Indeed, it's often hard to tell the extremists apart. Anti-vaccine activists come from both the far left and the far right — and while most of those who defend President Trump's dealings with Russia are on the right, some, such as Glenn Greenwald andStephen F. Cohen, are on the left."[156] In a May 2019Haaretz article,Alexander Reid Ross described Tucker Carlson's and Glenn Greenwald's positions as being a "crossover between leftists and the far-right in defense of Syria's Bashar Assad, to dismiss charges of Russian interference in U.S. elections and to boost Russian geopolitics".[157]
In 2005, Greenwald, aged 38, vacationed inRio de Janeiro, where he met 19-year-oldDavid Miranda, who had spent his childhood in theJacarezinhoFavela.[158] Days after they met, Greenwald and Miranda moved in together; they later married[159] and lived in Rio de Janeiro.[160][159]
Miranda served as a congressman with the left-wingPDT party, having formerly represented thePSOL party.[158] Greenwald and Miranda were close friends of Brazilian human rights advocate and politicianMarielle Franco, known for criticism ofpolice tactics and corruption, who was fatally shot by unknown assailants.[165][166] ANew York Times profile described how Greenwald's reporting on high-level Bolsonaro officials and Miranda's outspoken opposition in Congress provoked the ire of the Bolsonaro administration.[81]
While Greenwald does not participate in anyorganized religion, he has said he believes in "the spiritual andmystical part of the world" and thatyoga is "like a bridge into that, like a window into it."[167] Greenwald has been critical of theNew Atheist movement, particularlySam Harris and othercritics of Islam.[168]
In May 2023, Greenwald announced via Twitter that Miranda had died of agastrointestinal infection in a Rio de Janeiro hospital after a nine-monthICU stay.[169][170]
In May 2025, a series of intimate videos of Greenwald were leaked and circulated online. Greenwald stated in a post on X that they were leaked "without my knowledge or consent" and that the motive was a "maliciously political one".[171]
