In other words, the U.S. wants to stop Snowden from profiting from the book he wrote.

Here's the press release. https://t.co/pYwRKk8lY3
The US government is arguing it should get all the proceeds from sales of Snowden’s book, because he violated non-disclosure agreements he signed with both CIA and NSA. https://t.co/4jHnsIUQ5B

Interesting. U.S. files suit against Edward Snowden for not submitting his new book for pre-publication review, arguing it violates the NDA he signed (and broke when he took thousands of classified files). pic.twitter.com/tBnexyABaI
— Zack Whittaker (@zackwhittaker) September 17, 2019
Key to this: DOJ is not trying to stop the publication of Snowden's book. Instead, the government is going after the profits. (It's no a coincidence they filed the suit on the same day the book came out.)https://t.co/Yv0TMELcQo

UPDATE: Steven Aftergood, a researcher that specializes in government secrecy, says that given the precedents "the government has a very strong legal argument in cases like this." https://t.co/MGgSbbRgsQ

This book contains no government secrets that have not been previously published by respected news organizations.@Snowden wrote this to continue a worldwide conversation about mass surveillance and free societies. This lawsuit will only bring more attention to the book. https://t.co/g61WZ6a8oz

It is hard to think of a greater stamp of authenticity than the US government filing a lawsuit claiming your book is so truthful that it was literally against the law to write.
