Tulsi Gabbard is trying to explain her past support for Edward Snowden to members of the Senate Intelligence Committee considering her confirmation.

When she was still in the House , she introduced a resolution calling for all charges to be dropped against Snowden .

She urged President-elect Trump at the end of his first term to pardon people who “exposed the deception and criminality of those in the deep state”.

A source close to Gabbard said her latest comments to lawmakers reflect a shift in whistleblower protections since Snowden leaked documents in 2013 .

She has been reassured by reforms to how Section 702 can be used, the source said.

Democrats on the committee still have questions about her stance on Snowden .
