Edward Snowden in an interview by The Intercept’s Jeremy Scahill at the South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas has advised the President Donald Trump to first fix the NSA Mass surveillance programs that gather information of each American and then inquire the government to fix his private communications.

Trump’s accusation to prove that President Obama has spied Trump tower was not proved.

Snowden said, “If Donald Trump or anyone else wants us to take this seriously, they have to show evidence.”

He also said, “And the fact that they have not despite the severity of this allegation means that they’re trying to make political hay — I suspect — out of something that affects all of us, which is that mass surveillance is making all of us vulnerable.”
