\n A presidential pardon is not out of the question for the country\u2019s most famous whistleblower.<\/p>\n

President Trump on Saturday said he was going to look \u201cvery strongly\u201d at the possibility of a pardon for Edward Snowden. He told The Post exclusively earlier this week that he was open to the idea.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not that aware of the Snowden situation. I\u2019m going to start looking at it. There are many many people, it seems to be a split decision,\u201d Trump said Saturday during a news<\/a> briefing at his Bedminster club in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany people think that he should be somehow treated differently and other people think he did very bad things,\u201d the president went on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to take a look at that very strongly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snowden is accused of theft of government property and espionage and has been living in Russia after leaking troves of National Security Agency information on the highly secretive agency\u2019s mass surveillance and other intelligence programs.<\/p>\n

A pardon would be quite the change of heart for Trump, who tweeted critically of Snowden at least 45 times before he took office, calling him a \u201ctraitor\u201d who should be executed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnowden is a traitor and a disgrace,\u201d Trump tweeted back in May 2014. \u201cMake no mistake, he is no hero. In fact he is a coward who should come back & face justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Trump today said he\u2019s heard others around him express sympathy for his situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of people that think that he is not being treated fairly. I mean, I hear that,\u201d Trump told The Post in an Oval Office interview on Thursday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
