Edward Snowden’s girlfriend was caught by surprise when the ex-CIA contractor leaked classified information about the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs, according to friends that spoke with the Washington Post.
“I just talked to her,” one unnamed friend in Hawaii told the Post. “I know she didn’t have any idea.”
Friends confirmed to the Post that the blog “Lsjourney” belonged to dancer Lindsey Mills, 28, and that the boyfriend she referred to on that blog was indeed Edward Snowden. The blog no longer appears to be online.
The Post was unable to reach Mills or her family members for comment.
