U.S. investigators have uncovered evidence the federal contractor that did a background check on Edward Snowden falsified its work dating to 2008, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The company, USIS, told the government it had completed primary and secondary background investigations between 2008 and 2011 when evidence suggests otherwise, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak about the investigation. The Washington Post reported the findings yesterday.
