Paul Lawrance

In front of the press today, White House mouthpiece Josh Earnest revealed that the British government provided the White House a “heads up” that the detainment of David Miranda, partner of journalist Glenn Greenwald, was going to be made at the Heathrow airport in London.

On Sunday Miranda, who was traveling back to his home in Rio de Janeiro, was held by UK authorities for nine hours under section 7 of the British Terrorism Act.



“This is something that we had a indication was likely to occur, but its not something we requested. It was something that was done specifically by the British law enforcement officials there,” Earnest told the press.
