Former NSA contractor
Biographical Record
American former intelligence-community contractor whose June 2013 disclosure of classified National Security Agency surveillance documents reshaped the institutional position of the intelligence community for the remainder of the Clapper DNI tenure. The 12 March 2013 Clapper testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, three months before the Snowden disclosures, became one of the most-cited single moments of the DNI office's history.
