Prosecutors: Manning a “Traitor” with “Evil Intent”

HeadlineJul 26, 2013

Closing statements are underway in the military trial of Army Private Bradley Manning for the disclosure of government information to WikiLeaks. On Thursday, the lead military prosecutor accused Manning of betraying the nation, saying: “Manning had the general evil intent … He was not a whistleblower. He was a traitor.” Manning is the first-ever defendant to face an “aiding the enemy” charge for leaking government documents to a news source, which could set a major precedent for future cases involving journalists. Defense attorneys are set to make their closing remarks today.
