Snowden Faces Possible Sanctions in Suit Over Tell-All Book

The U.S. said it will ask a judge to sanction former Central Intelligence Agency employee Edward Snowden for failing to turn over evidence in the government’s lawsuit over his tell-all memoir, “Permanent Record,” which was found to illegally disclose classified information.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Theresa Buchanan on Monday extended the government’s deadline by two weeks, to July 27, to seek information from Snowden after the U.S. complained of his “blanket refusal to participate in discovery” related to the book as well as speeches he gave after he exposed U.S. secrets in 2013.
