Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Germany Probes 2nd Official over U.S. Spy Claims

HeadlineJul 10, 2014

Germany is investigating a new suspect on allegations of spying for the U.S. just days after the arrest of an intelligence official on similar charges. The German government says it is probing claims an official in the Defense Ministry spied for the United States. The first suspect, detained last week, reportedly admitted to passing on documents to a U.S. contact. The alleged espionage is said to entail a U.S. effort to monitor a German parliamentary probe of the initial revelations of National Security Agency spying in Germany exposed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Reports based on Snowden’s leaks revealed vast NSA operations in Germany, including the bugging of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cellphone.
