BREAKING NEWS Famous journalist Glenn Greenwald mired in sex tape scandal that he says was released by 'political enemies'
Journalist Glenn Greenwald has hit out at his 'political enemies' after sex tapes involving him were circulated on social media.
In a post to his X on Friday morning, Greenwald said the clips were published without his 'knowledge or consent' on Thursday evening.
The 58-year-old also added that the leaking of the videos was done so by 'political enemies' to 'advance a political agenda'.
He said: '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.
'As for the content of the videos: I have no embarrassment or regret about them. 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.
'Others are, of course, free to form their own judgments, as some are prone to do about others' private lives.
'It won't change my work. I will continue to call out the many prongs of my journalism, and pursue the causes important to me, exactly as before.'

Machine Gun Kelly gives rare glimpse at his and Megan Fox's newborn after his disturbing act
Machine Gun Kelly shared a rare glimpse of his and Megan Fox 's newborn daughter on Friday — just one day after he was caught on camera pulling a shockingly reckless stunt in Los Angeles. The 35-year-old rapper-turned-actor was filmed speeding through a red light on his Harley-Davidson, swerving into oncoming traffic and narrowly avoiding a collision during a wild illegal left turn in the San Fernando Valley. The heart-stopping footage, obtained exclusively by shows MGK blowing past a stopped car at an intersection before zooming off — sparking new concerns about his increasingly erratic behavior. Insiders told that Fox is 'fed up' with her fiancé's 'immature' antics, especially with a baby now in the picture. Seemingly unfazed, MGK returned to Instagram the next day with a carousel promoting his new single Cliché — quietly slipping in a tender photo of him holding his and Fox's infant daughter. The tender moment stood in sharp contrast to the chaos of the day before, prompting some to wonder if it was a deliberate distraction from his dangerous brush with death. With a message that could be seen as having two meanings, the hitmaker captioned the carousel, 'biggest debut yet, it's a celebrationnnnn CLICHÉ.' The first dozen or so comments were about how much fans were enjoying the new song, but as fans began to go through the photos, they noticed something a little different. 'That baby hand omg,' wrote a fan adding a starry eyed emoji at the end of the sentence. 'Literally my new fav daddy,' cooed another, while more than one fan exclaimed, couldn't get over 'her little fingers.' Another popular comment was 'the babyyy.' The Glass House singer and ex-fiancée Fox, 39, welcomed the little one on March 27 and he announced the baby's arrival sharing a sweet video clip of her holding his finger while father and daughter enjoyed some time together. 'She's finally here!! our little celestial seed ♈️♓️♊️' he penned. The proud parents quickly cleared up any mistaken belief 'Celestial Seed' was her name and indicated Fox would announce it when the time was right. On May 23, the doting dad shared a selfie of himself and the tyke reflected in a car window, hidden in another carousel of snaps. The infant was being swaddled in a baby carrier. Another popular comment was 'the babyyy' 'Stop what you're doing these pictures are v important,' he instructed his fans. MGK, whose legal name is Colson Baker, is already used to being a girl dad. He shares Casie, almost 16, with ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon. Fox shares three children with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green; Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, eight. Even though they have called off their romance, Fox and Baker are working on navigating co-parenting with their baby. According to People, the Emo Girl singer is staying at Fox's house part-time, as each wants to be 'present for their daughter.' 'Megan and MGK are really loving this time right now with their baby girl,' an insider told the magazine. 'They're not making any big decisions about their future together as a couple because they just want to focus on the present and this new chapter as parents to their daughter together.' The source added, 'They are getting along really well and they have no idea what the future holds but right now they are doing great.'
