The FBI chief also said that former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden is the target of a criminal probe.

“These disclosures have caused significant harm to our nation and to our safety. We’re taking all necessary steps to hold the person responsible for these disclosures,” he added
On June 9, Snowden leaked documents exposing the widespread surveillance of US communications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), as well as a separate National Security Agency (NSA) program code-named PRISM that allows the government to access private conversations conducted over Facebook, Google, Skype and other services.

On June 8, National Intelligence Director James Clapper defended the electronic surveillance tool PRISM and insisted that various intelligence-gathering programs being used by the US government are legal.
