Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Mexico Says Obama Pledges to Probe NSA Spying Claims

HeadlineOct 23, 2013

Mexico says it has won a pledge from President Obama to investigate the National Security Agency’s apparent spying on its government. Leaks from Edward Snowden reported by Der Spiegel suggest the NSA hacked the email accounts of then-President Felipe Calderón in 2010 and of current Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto before he was elected. On Tuesday, Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs José Antonio Meade said Obama has promised an investigation and has assured Peña Nieto that he did not authorize the spying.
