NSA leaker Edward Snowden just published a new book and the U.S. government wants to get all the money he makes from it.

On Tuesday, the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Snowden in an attempt to stop him from earning any proceedings from sales of his new book, called Permanent Record. The government accused Snowden of breaking his promise to protect the secrets of the CIA and the NSA, his previous employers, by writing a book and giving paid speeches without the government’s permission.
