Donald Trump said he considered pardoning Julian Assange or Edward Snowden during his time as president but ultimately decided not to.
During an interview with Candace Owens for The Daily Wire, the former president said he felt "a little bit more strongly" about one case, but did not specify whether it was the one involving the Wikileaks founder or the National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower.
Assange is facing extradition to the U.S. to face espionage charges over the leak of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011. Snowden has been exiled in Russia ever since he revealed NSA surveillance techniques were being used against U.S. citizens on a mass scale in 2013.
When Owens asked whether he considered pardoning Assange or Snowden for exposing "corruption," Trump replied: "You have two sides of it: In one case, you have sort of a spy deal going on, and then another case, you have somebody that's exposing real corruption.
"I won't say which one, but I feel a little bit more strongly about one than the other....but I could have done it.
"I will say you have people on both sides of that issue. Good people on both sides, and you have some bad people on one side. But I decided to let that one ride, let the courts work it out. And I guess the courts are actually doing that.
