Evidence of the conspiracy to commit espionage by Julius and Ethel Rosenberg came primarily from the testimony of David Greenglass, Ethel Rosenberg’s brother, who worked on the Manhattan Project. Greenglass testified that he had provided information about nuclear weapons that was passed through the Rosenbergs to a Soviet espionage network. Harry Gold, a courier connected to the spy ring, was also arrested and linked to the transfer of information. Years later, Soviet intelligence records released after the collapse of the Soviet Union provided strong evidence of Julius Rosenberg’s involvement in espionage. However, later testimony suggested that David Greenglass may have exaggerated Ethel Rosenberg’s role in the operation.
