Journalist Glenn Greenwald angrily lashed out at his political enemies after a sex tape showing him in a compromising position spread on social media.
In a post to X on Friday morning, Greenwald said the clips were published without his ‘knowledge or consent’, and that he planned to take legal action.
The 58-year-old, who is also a lawyer, added that the leaking of the videos was done so by ‘political enemies’ to ‘advance a political agenda’.
‘Last night’s videos were released online depicting behavior in my private life. Some were distorted and others were not.
‘They were published without my knowledge or consent and its publication was therefore criminal.
‘Though we do not yet know exactly who is responsible, we are close to knowing, and the motive was a maliciously political one,’ he said.
He added that he carries ‘no embarrassment or regret’ about the acts depicted in the videos.
‘The videos depict consenting adults engaged in intimate actions in their private lives.
‘They all display fully consensual behavior, harming nobody.
‘Obviously it can be uncomfortable and unpleasant when your private behavior is made public against your will – that’s why the behavior is private in the first place – but the only wrongdoing here is the criminal and malicious publication of the videos in an attempt to malign perceived political enemies and advance a political agenda.
