Glenn Edward Greenwald (born March 6, 1967) is an American journalist, author, and former lawyer.{{Cite web |last=Volz |first=Dustin |date=June 21, 2014 |title=Glenn Greenwald |url=http://www.faspe-ethics.org/journalism2014/?p=329 |access-date=July 10, 2023 |website=The Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics |archive-date=July 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230710091519/http://www.faspe-ethics.org/journalism2014/?p=329 |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Glenn Greenwald on Security and Liberty |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/series/glenn-greenwald-security-liberty |access-date=June 19, 2023 |website=The Guardian |language=en}}
In 1996, Greenwald founded a law firm concentrating on First Amendment litigation. He began blogging on national security issues in October 2005, when he was becoming increasingly concerned with what he viewed as attacks on civil liberties by the George W. Bush administration in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.{{Cite web|date=June 20, 2007|title=Fringe liberal bloggers|url=https://www.salon.com/2007/06/20/liberalism/|access-date=September 27, 2020|website=Salon|language=en|archive-date=December 23, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223043026/https://www.salon.com/2007/06/20/liberalism/|url-status=live}} He became a vocal critic of the Iraq War and has maintained a critical position of American foreign policy.
Greenwald started contributing to Salon in 2007, and to The Guardian in 2012. In June 2013, while at The Guardian, he began publishing a series of reports detailing previously unknown information about American and British global surveillance programs based on classified documents provided by Edward Snowden. His work contributed to The Guardian{{'}}s 2014 Pulitzer Prize win and he was among a group of three reporters who won the 2013 George Polk Award. In 2014, he cofounded The Intercept, of which he was an editor until he resigned in October 2020. Greenwald subsequently started publishing his own newsletter.{{Cite web|last=Greenwald|first=Glenn|title=Glenn Greenwald|url=https://greenwald.substack.com/|access-date=December 25, 2020|website=greenwald.substack.com|archive-date=December 25, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201225003409/https://greenwald.substack.com/|url-status=live}}
Through The Intercept Brasil in June 2019, Greenwald published leaked conversations between senior officials involved in Operation Car Wash, a corruption case in Brazil. The conversations appeared to show the investigative judge acting prejudicially against Lula in the lead up to the 2018 elections. Greenwald was charged with cybercrimes by Brazilian prosecutors over the leaks in January 2020, though the charges were dismissed by a federal judge a month later. He now hosts the show System Update on Rumble.{{Cite web |date=2020-10-20 |title=System Update |url=https://theintercept.com/staff/systemupdate/ |access-date=2025-01-13 |website=The Intercept |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Wolfe |first=Liz |date=2023-12-18 |title=Demonic Dollar Store |url=https://reason.com/2023/12/18/demonic-dollar-store/ |access-date=2025-01-13 |website=Reason.com |language=en-US}}
Early life and education
Greenwald was born in Queens in New York City to Arlene and Daniel Greenwald. Greenwald's family moved to Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, when he was an infant; his parents separated when he was six.{{Cite magazine|last=Parker|first=Ian|date=August 27, 2018|title=Glenn Greenwald, the Bane of Their Resistance|url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/03/glenn-greenwald-the-bane-of-their-resistance|access-date=August 26, 2021|magazine=The New Yorker|language=en-US|archive-date=August 30, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210830071808/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/03/glenn-greenwald-the-bane-of-their-resistance|url-status=live}} Greenwald is Jewish, but grew up without practicing an organized religion, did not have a bar mitzvah, and has said his "moral precepts aren't informed in any way by religious doctrine". Greenwald attended Nova Middle School and Nova High School in Davie, Florida.{{cite news |last1=Herrera |first1=Chabeli |title=Columnist who broke NSA leaks story grew up in Lauderdale Lakes |url=https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article1953011.html |access-date=November 18, 2020 |work=Miami Herald |date=July 4, 2013 |archive-date=November 5, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105030606/https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article1953011.html |url-status=live }}
Inspired by his grandfather's time on the then-Lauderdale Lakes City Council, Greenwald, still in high school, decided to run at the age of 17 for an at-large seat on the council in the 1985 elections.{{cite web |last1=Lifton |first1=Kimberly |title=Youth Movement: Ex-Councilman's Grandson, 17, Seeks Office |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1985-01-10-8501010874-story.html |website=Sun Sentinel |access-date=January 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628113243/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1985-01-10-8501010874-story.html |archive-date=June 28, 2021 |language=en |date=January 10, 1985}} He was unsuccessful, coming in fourth place with 7% of the total vote.{{cite web |last1=Nolin |first1=Robert |last2=Fleshler |first2=David |title=Reporter who exposed NSA phone tracking has Broward roots |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2013-06-07-fl-glenn-greenwald-florida-20130607-story.html |website=Sun Sentinel |access-date=January 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210629235258/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-2013-06-07-fl-glenn-greenwald-florida-20130607-story.html |archive-date=June 29, 2021 |language=en |date=June 7, 2013}} In 1991, Greenwald ran again, coming in third place with 18% of the vote.{{cite web |title=Lauderdale Lakes Incumbents Sweep Races, Dominate Seats on Council |url=https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1991-03-13-9101130364-story.html |website=Sun Sentinel |access-date=January 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210628103346/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1991-03-13-9101130364-story.html |archive-date=June 28, 2021 |language=en |date=March 13, 1991}} After that, he stopped running for political office and instead focused on law school.{{cite web |last1=Testa |first1=Jessica |title=How Glenn Greenwald Became Glenn Greenwald |url=https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jtes/how-glenn-greenwald-became-glenn-greenwald |website=BuzzFeed News|date=June 27, 2013 |access-date=January 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107032902/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jtes/how-glenn-greenwald-became-glenn-greenwald |archive-date=January 7, 2022 |language=en |quote='My grandfather would try to represent poor homeowners against the powers that be in the city.

He received a B.A. in philosophy from George Washington University in 1990 and a J.D. from New York University School of Law in 1994. His experiences on his college debate team influenced his career path.{{Citation |title=Conversations with History: Glenn Greenwald | date=December 8, 2011 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qlFjrgGqVA |access-date=2023-06-04 |language=en |archive-date=June 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230604141302/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qlFjrgGqVA |url-status=live }} "That developed, I think, a lot of the skills and interest that ended up guiding my future career," he said in an interview.
=Litigation attorney=
Greenwald practiced law in the litigation department at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz from 1994 to 1995. In 1996, he co-founded his own litigation firm, Greenwald Christoph & Holland (later renamed Greenwald Christoph PC), where he litigated cases concerning issues of U.S. constitutional law and civil rights. He worked pro bono much of the time, and his cases included representing white supremacist Matthew Hale in Illinois, who, Greenwald believed, was wrongly imprisoned,{{Cite news |last=Wilgoren |first=Jodi |date=March 9, 2005 |title=Supremacist Sent Code From Jail, Lawyer Says |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/09/us/supremacist-sent-code-from-jail-lawyer-says.html |access-date=October 11, 2022 |issn=0362-4331 |archive-date=October 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221011231559/https://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/09/us/supremacist-sent-code-from-jail-lawyer-says.html |url-status=live }} and the neo-nazi National Alliance.{{cite news|last=Wilentz|first=Sean|url=https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/01/would-you-feel-differently-about-snowden-greenwald-and-assange-if-you-knew-what-the|title=Would you feel differently about Snowden, Greenwald, and Assange if you knew what they really thought?|work=New Statesman|date=January 20, 2014|access-date=April 26, 2019|archive-date=April 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190426203909/https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/01/would-you-feel-differently-about-snowden-greenwald-and-assange-if-you-knew-what-the|url-status=live}}
About his work in First Amendment speech cases, Greenwald told Rolling Stone magazine in 2013, "to me, it's a heroic attribute to be so committed to a principle that you apply it not when it's easy ... not when it supports your position, not when it protects people you like, but when it defends and protects people that you hate".
Later, according to Greenwald, "I decided voluntarily to wind down my practice in 2005 because I could, and because, after ten years, I was bored with litigating full-time and wanted to do other things which I thought were more engaging and could make more of an impact, including political writing."
Journalism
=''Unclaimed Territory'' and ''Salon''=
In October 2005, he began his blog Unclaimed Territory, focusing on the investigation pertaining to the Plame affair, the CIA leak grand jury investigation, the federal indictment of Scooter Libby, and the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy. In April 2006, the blog received the 2005 Koufax Award for "Best New Blog". According to Sean Wilentz in the New Statesman, Greenwald "seemed to take pride in attacking Republicans and Democrats alike".
In February 2007, Greenwald became a contributing writer for the Salon website, and the new column and blog superseded Unclaimed Territory, although Salon featured hyperlinks to it in Greenwald's dedicated biographical section.

Among the frequent topics of his Salon articles were the investigation of the 2001 anthrax attacks and the candidacy of former CIA official John O. Brennan for the jobs of either Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (D/CIA) or the next Director of National Intelligence (DNI) after the election of Barack Obama. Brennan withdrew his name from consideration for the post after opposition centered in liberal blogs and led by Greenwald.
In a 2010 article for Salon, Greenwald described U.S. Army Private Chelsea Manning as "a whistle-blower acting with the noblest of motives" and "a national hero similar to Daniel Ellsberg". In an article for The Raw Story published in 2011, Greenwald criticized the prison conditions in which Manning was held after her arrest by military authorities.
Greenwald was described by Rachel Maddow during his period writing for Salon as "the American left's most fearless political commentator."
=''The Guardian''=
In July 2012, Greenwald joined the American wing of Britain's Guardian newspaper to contribute a weekly column and a daily blog.{{cite news|last=Byers|first=Dylan|title=Glenn Greenwald to move to The Guardian|url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/07/glenn-greenwald-to-move-to-the-guardian-129447.html|work=Politico|date=July 19, 2012|access-date=July 21, 2012|archive-date=July 21, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120721173556/http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/07/glenn-greenwald-to-move-to-the-guardian-129447.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|last=Carr|first=David|url=http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/19/glenn-greenwald-moves-from-salon-to-guardian-u-s|title=Glenn Greenwald Moves From Salon to Guardian U.S|work=The New York Times|date=July 19, 2012|access-date=April 27, 2019|archive-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920164345/http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/19/glenn-greenwald-moves-from-salon-to-guardian-u-s/|url-status=live}} Greenwald wrote on Salon that the move offered him "the opportunity to reach a new audience, to further internationalize my readership, and to be re-invigorated by a different environment" as reasons for the move.{{cite news|last=Greenwald|first=Glenn|url=http://www.salon.com/2012/07/19/home_news|title=I'll be writing in a new venue beginning next month|date=July 19, 2012|work=Salon.com|access-date=December 9, 2012|archive-date=January 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115133943/http://www.salon.com/2012/07/19/home_news/|url-status=live}}
==Global surveillance disclosure==
{{main|2013 Global surveillance disclosure}}
File:Carl-von-Ossietzky-Medaille 2014-12-14 1.jpg.]]
Greenwald was initially contacted anonymously in late 2012 by Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the U.S. National Security Agency, who said he held "sensitive documents" that he wished to share. Greenwald found the measures that Snowden asked him to take to secure their communications too annoying to employ. Snowden then contacted documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras about a month later in January 2013.
According to The Guardian, Snowden was attracted to Greenwald and Poitras by a Salon article written by Greenwald detailing how Poitras' films had made her a "target of the government". Greenwald began working with Snowden in either February or in April, after Poitras asked Greenwald to meet her in New York City, at which point Snowden began providing documents to them both.
As part of the global surveillance disclosure, the first of Snowden's documents were published on June 5, 2013, in The Guardian in an article by Greenwald reporting on the top-secret United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order requiring Verizon to provide the National Security Agency with telephone metadata for all calls between the U.S. and abroad, as well as all domestic calls. Greenwald said that Snowden's documents exposed the "scale of domestic surveillance under Obama". In September 2021, Yahoo! News reported that in 2017, after the publication of the Vault 7 files, "top intelligence officials lobbied the White House" to designate Glenn Greenwald as an "information broker" to allow for more investigative tools against him, "potentially paving the way" for his prosecution. However, the White House rejected this idea. "I am not the least bit surprised," Greenwald told Yahoo! News, "that the CIA, a longtime authoritarian and antidemocratic institution, plotted to find a way to criminalize journalism and spy on and commit other acts of aggression against journalists."{{cite web |url=https://news.yahoo.com/kidnapping-assassination-and-a-london-shoot-out-inside-the-ci-as-secret-war-plans-against-wiki-leaks-090057786.html |title=Kidnapping, assassination and a London shoot-out: Inside the CIA's secret war plans against WikiLeaks |publisher=Yahoo!

The series on which Greenwald worked contributed to The Guardian (alongside The Washington Post) winning the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2014.
Greenwald's work on the Snowden story was featured in the documentary Citizenfour, which won the 2014 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Greenwald appeared on stage with director Laura Poitras and Snowden's girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, to accept the award. In the 2016 feature film Snowden, directed by Oliver Stone, Greenwald was played by actor Zachary Quinto.
===Testimony===
In a statement delivered before the National Congress of Brazil in early August 2013, Greenwald testified that the U.S. government had used counterterrorism as a pretext for clandestine surveillance to compete with other countries in the "business, industrial and economic fields".
On December 18, 2013, Greenwald told the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs of the European Parliament that "most governments around the world are not only turning their backs on Edward Snowden but also on their ethical responsibilities". Speaking via a video link, Greenwald said: "It is the UK through their interception of underwater fibre optic cables, that is a primary threat to the privacy of European citizens when it comes to their telephone and emails". In a statement given to the European Parliament, Greenwald said:
{{blockquote|The ultimate goal of the NSA, along with its most loyal, one might say subservient junior partner the British agency GCHQ – when it comes to the reason why the system of suspicion of surveillance is being built and the objective of this system – is nothing less than the elimination of individual privacy worldwide.|Glenn Greenwald}}
On October 15, 2013, Greenwald left The Guardian to pursue a "once-in-a-career dream journalistic opportunity that no journalist could possibly decline".
=First Look Media and ''The Intercept''=
Financial backing for The Intercept was provided by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar told media critic Jay Rosen that the decision was fueled by his "rising concern about press freedoms in the United States and around the world". Greenwald, along with his colleagues Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, initially were working on creating a platform online to support independent journalism, when they were approached by Omidyar, who was hoping to establish his own media organization. That news organization, First Look Media, launched its first online publication, The Intercept, on February 10, 2014. Greenwald initially served as editor, alongside Poitras and Scahill. The organization is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable entity.
The Intercept was in contact during the 2016 presidential campaign with Guccifer 2.0, who relayed some of the material about Hillary Clinton, gathered via a data breach, to Greenwald. The Grugq, a counterintelligence specialist, reported in October 2016: "The Intercept was both aware that the e-mails were from Guccifer 2.0, that Guccifer 2.0 has been attributed to Russian intelligence services, and that there is significant public evidence supporting this attribution."{{cite news|last=Gallagher|first=Sean|url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/is-russia-using-journalists-as-weapons-does-it-matter/|title=Agents of influence: How reporters have been "weaponized" by leaks|work=Ars Technica|date=October 20, 2016|access-date=April 26, 2019|archive-date=April 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190426182545/https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/is-russia-using-journalists-as-weapons-does-it-matter/|url-status=live}}

On June 9, 2019, Greenwald and journalists from investigative journalism magazine The Intercept Brasil where he was an editor, released several messages exchanged via Telegram between members of the investigation team of Operation Car Wash – called Car Leaks. The messages implicated members of Brazil's judiciary system and of the Operação Lava-Jato taskforce, including former judge and Minister of Justice Sergio Moro, and lead prosecutor Deltan Dallagnol, in the violation of legal and ethical procedures during the investigation, trial and arrest of former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with the alleged objective of preventing him from running for a third term in the 2018 Brazilian general election, among other crimes. The FBI was also involved. Following the leak, Folha de São Paulo and Veja confirmed the authenticity of the messages and worked in partnership with The Intercept Brasil to sort the remaining material in their possession before releasing it.Release Nickname Sources:

On July 23, Brazilian Federal Police announced that they had arrested and were investigating Araraquara hacker Walter Delgatti Neto for breaking into the authorities' Telegram accounts. Neto confessed to the hack and to having given copies of the chat logs to Greenwald. Police said the attack had been accomplished by abusing Telegram's phone number verification and exploiting vulnerabilities in voicemail technology in use in Brazil by using a spoofed phone number. The Intercept neither confirmed nor denied Neto being their source, citing freedom of the press provisions of the 1988 Brazilian Constitution.{{cite web |title=Entenda o vazamento de diálogos da Lava-Jato |url=https://www.nsctotal.com.br/noticias/entenda-o-vazamento-de-dialogos-da-lava-jato |website=www.nsctotal.com.br |publisher=NSCTotal |access-date=August 13, 2019 |language=pt-BR |archive-date=August 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190813205427/https://www.nsctotal.com.br/noticias/entenda-o-vazamento-de-dialogos-da-lava-jato |url-status=live }}

Books
Greenwald's first book, How Would a Patriot Act? Defending American Values From a President Run Amok, was published by Working Assets in 2006. It was a New York Times bestseller, and ranked No. 1 on Amazon.com, both before its publication (due to orders based on attention from 'UT' readers and other bloggers) and for several days after its release, ending its first week at No. 293.
A Tragic Legacy, his second book, examined the presidency of George W. Bush. Published in hardback by Crown (a division of Random House) on June 26, 2007, and reprinted in a paperback edition by Three Rivers Press on April 8, 2008, it was also a New York Times bestseller.

Greenwald wrote the book Securing Democracy: My Fight for Press Freedom and Justice in Brazil as a follow-up to No Place to Hide. It was published by Haymarket Books in April 2021. It describes his publication in 2019 of leaked telephone calls, audio and text messages related to Operation Car Wash and the retaliation he received from Jair Bolsonaro's government.{{cite web |title=Securing Democracy |url=https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1634-securing-democracy |website=haymarketbooks.org |access-date=March 15, 2021 |archive-date=March 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210301082048/https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1634-securing-democracy |url-status=live }}{{cite news|last=Moscrop|first=David|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/reviews/article-glenn-greenwalds-account-of-covering-corruption-in-brazil-a-timely/|title=Glenn Greenwald's Securing Democracy, on covering corruption in Brazil, is a timely reminder of the fragility of democracy|work=The Globe and Mail|location=Toronto, Canada|date=June 11, 2021|access-date=February 13, 2022|archive-date=February 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220213151540/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/books/reviews/article-glenn-greenwalds-account-of-covering-corruption-in-brazil-a-timely/|url-status=live}}

==George W. Bush and Barack Obama eras==

He criticized the policies of the Bush administration and those who supported it, arguing that most of the American "corporate news media" excused Bush's policies and echoed the administration's positions rather than asking hard questions. Greenwald accused mainstream U.S. media of "spreading patriotic state propaganda".
==Donald Trump and Russian election interference==
Greenwald has criticized some of the policies of the first Trump administration, saying, "I think the Trump White House lies more often. I think it lies more readily. I think it lies more blatantly."
During the Trump administration, Greenwald was a critic of the Democratic Party, alleging a double standard in their foreign policy: "Democrats didn't care when Obama hugged Saudi despots, and now they pretend to care when Trump embraces Saudi despots or Egyptian ones."
Greenwald expressed skepticism of the James Clapper-led US intelligence community's assessment that Russia's government interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Regardless of the accuracy of the assessment, he doubted its significance, stating "This is stuff we do to them, and have done to them for decades, and still continue to do."
Susan Hennessey, an NSA lawyer at the time of Snowden's NSA revelations, told Marcy Wheeler writing for The New Republic in January 2018, that Greenwald was only relaying "surface commentary" rather than evidence for or against Russian interference in the 2016 election.{{cite magazine|last=Wheeler|first=Marcy|url=https://newrepublic.com/article/146725/glenn-greenwalds-women|title=All Glenn Greenwald's Women|magazine=The New Republic|date=January 23, 2018|access-date=April 27, 2019|archive-date=April 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190427070532/https://newrepublic.com/article/146725/glenn-greenwalds-women|url-status=live}} Tamsin Shaw wrote in The New York Review of Books in September 2018: "Greenwald has repeatedly, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, decried as Russophobia the findings that Putin ordered interference in the 2016 US presidential election".{{cite news|last=Shaw|first=Tamsin|url=https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/09/13/edward-snowden-reconsidered/|title=Edward Snowden Reconsidered|work=The New York Review of Books|date=September 13, 2018|access-date=April 26, 2019|archive-date=April 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190426191141/https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/09/13/edward-snowden-reconsidered/|url-status=live}}
Greenwald remained doubtful of assertions that the Trump presidential campaign worked with the Russians after the release of the letter about the Mueller's findings from attorney general William Barr in late March 2019.

Greenwald criticized the government's decision to charge Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917 for his role in the 2010 publication of the Iraq War documents leak. Greenwald wrote in The Washington Post: "The Trump administration has undoubtedly calculated that Assange's uniquely unpopular status across the political spectrum [in the United States] makes him the ideal test case for creating a precedent that criminalizes the defining attributes of investigative journalism."{{cite news |title=The indictment of Assange is a blueprint for making journalists into felons |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/05/28/indictment-assange-is-blueprint-making-journalists-into-felons/?noredirect=on |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=May 28, 2019 |access-date=May 28, 2019 |archive-date=June 18, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190618045322/https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/05/28/indictment-assange-is-blueprint-making-journalists-into-felons/?noredirect=on |url-status=live }}

In October 2018, Greenwald said that Bolsonaro was "often depicted wrongly in the Western media as being Brazil's Trump, and he's actually much closer to say Filipino President Duterte or even the Egyptian dictator General el-Sisi in terms of what he believes and what he's probably capable of carrying out."{{cite news |title=Jair Bolsonaro supports dictatorships and torture — and he'll probably be Brazil's next president |url=https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/episode-413-canada-s-forests-at-risk-the-politics-of-rage-canada-s-spookiest-places-eden-robinson-and-more-1.4878598/jair-bolsonaro-supports-dictatorships-and-torture-and-he-ll-probably-be-brazil-s-next-president-1.4878611 |publisher=CBC News |date=October 27, 2018 |access-date=April 10, 2019 |archive-date=April 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190410112325/https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/episode-413-canada-s-forests-at-risk-the-politics-of-rage-canada-s-spookiest-places-eden-robinson-and-more-1.4878598/jair-bolsonaro-supports-dictatorships-and-torture-and-he-ll-probably-be-brazil-s-next-president-1.4878611 |url-status=live }}

In January 2020, Brazilian federal prosecutors charged Greenwald with cybercrimes, alleging he was part of a "criminal organization" that hacked into the cellphones of prosecutors and other public officials in 2019. Prosecutors said he played a "clear role in facilitating the commission of a crime" by, for example, encouraging hackers to delete archives to cover their tracks. Greenwald, who was not detained, called the charges "an obvious attempt to attack a free press in retaliation for the revelations we reported about Minister of Justice Sergio Moro and the Bolsonaro government."{{cite news |last1=Londoño |first1=Ernesto |last2=Casado |first2=Letícia |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/21/world/americas/glenn-greenwald-brazil-cybercrimes.html |title=Glenn Greenwald Charged With Cybercrimes in Brazil |work=The New York Times |date=January 21, 2020 |access-date=January 21, 2020 |archive-date=January 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200121154004/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/21/world/americas/glenn-greenwald-brazil-cybercrimes.html |url-status=live }} In February 2020, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Greenwald, citing a ruling from Supreme Court justice Gilmar Mendes that shielded him.{{cite news | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/world/americas/greenwald-charges-dropped-brazil.html | title=Brazil Judge Dismisses Charges Against the Journalist Glenn Greenwald | work=The New York Times | date=February 6, 2020 | access-date=February 6, 2020 | author=Londoño, Ernesto | archive-date=February 7, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200207005016/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/world/americas/greenwald-charges-dropped-brazil.html | url-status=live }}

Reception
Greenwald has been placed on numerous "top 50" and "top 25" lists of columnists in the United States.{{refn|}} In June 2012, Newsweek magazine named him one of America's Top Ten Opinionists, saying that "a righteous, controlled, and razor-sharp fury runs through a great deal" of his writing, and "His independent persuasion can make him a danger or an asset to both sides of the aisle."

Josh Voorhees, writing for Slate, reported that in 2013 congressman Peter King (R-NY) suggested Greenwald should be arrested for his reporting on the NSA PRISM program and NSA leaker Edward Snowden. Journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin declared: "I would arrest

In a February 2014 interview, Greenwald said he risked detention if he reentered the U.S., but said that he would "force the issue" on principle, and return for the "many reasons" he had to visit, including if he won a prestigious award of which he was rumoured to be the winner. Later that month, it was announced that he was, in fact, among the recipients of the 2013 Polk Awards, to be conferred April 11, 2014, in Manhattan. In a subsequent interview, Greenwald stated he would attend the ceremony. On April 11, Greenwald and Laura Poitras accepted the Polk Award in Manhattan. Their entry into the United States was trouble-free and they traveled with an ACLU attorney and a German journalist "to document any unpleasant surprises". Accepting the award, Greenwald said he was "happy to see a table full of Guardian editors and journalists, whose role in this story is much more integral than the publicity generally recognizes". On April 14, the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service was awarded jointly to The Guardian and The Washington Post for revelation of widespread secret surveillance by the NSA. Greenwald, along with Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, had contributed to The Guardian′s reporting.

In 2005, Greenwald, aged 38, vacationed in Rio de Janeiro, where he met 19-year-old David Miranda, who had spent his childhood in the Jacarezinho Favela.

Miranda served as a congressman with the left-wing PDT party, having formerly represented the PSOL party. Greenwald and Miranda were close friends of Brazilian human rights advocate and politician Marielle Franco, known for criticism of police tactics and corruption, who was fatally shot by unknown assailants. A New York Times profile described how Greenwald's reporting on high-level Bolsonaro officials and Miranda's outspoken opposition in Congress provoked the ire of the Bolsonaro administration.
While Greenwald does not participate in any organized religion, he has said he believes in "the spiritual and mystical part of the world" and that yoga is "like a bridge into that, like a window into it." Greenwald has been critical of the New Atheist movement, particularly Sam Harris and other critics of Islam.
In May 2023, Greenwald announced via Twitter that Miranda had died of a gastrointestinal infection in a Rio de Janeiro hospital after a nine-month ICU stay.{{Cite web |last=Hallam |first=Sahar Akbarzai, Stefano Pozzebon, Jonny |date=2023-05-09 |title=Brazilian politician David Miranda has died at age 37, says husband Glenn Greenwald |url=https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/americas/brazil-david-miranda-died-intl-latam/index.html |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=CNN |language=en |archive-date=May 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509220925/https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/09/americas/brazil-david-miranda-died-intl-latam/index.html |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |title=Glenn Greenwald on Twitter/ "It is with the most profound sadness that I announce the passing away o... |url=https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1655906393478537216 |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=Twitter |language=en |archive-date=May 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230509121803/https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1655906393478537216 |url-status=live }}
Recognition

Greenwald received, together with Amy Goodman, the first Izzy Award for special achievement in independent media, in 2009, and the 2010 Online Journalism Award for Best Commentary for his investigative work on the conditions of Chelsea Manning.
His reporting on the National Security Agency (NSA) won numerous other awards around the world, including top investigative journalism prizes from the George Polk Award for National Security Reporting, the 2013 Online Journalism Awards, the Esso Award for Excellence in Reporting in Brazil for his articles in O Globo on NSA mass surveillance of Brazilians (becoming the first foreigner to win the award), the 2013 Libertad de Expresion Internacional award from Argentinian magazine Perfil, and the 2013 Pioneer Award from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The team that Greenwald led at The Guardian was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their reporting on the NSA. Foreign Policy Magazine then named him one of the top 100 Global Thinkers of 2013.
In 2014, Greenwald received the Geschwister-Scholl-Preis, an annual German literary award, for the German edition of No Place to Hide. Greenwald was also named the 2014 recipient of the McGill Medal for Journalistic Courage{{Cite web|url=https://grady.uga.edu/mcgill/|title=McGill Program for Journalistic Courage|website=grady.edu|access-date=May 13, 2022|archive-date=April 22, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220422161127/https://grady.uga.edu/mcgill/|url-status=live}} from the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication of the University of Georgia.
