Hill Report: NSA Leaker Snowden Maintains Contact with Russian Intel Services

NSA leaker Edward Snowden “has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services” since his arrival in Moscow, a declassified report released on Thursday by the House Intelligence Committee alleges.

While some of the report, and much of its footnotes, remains heavily redacted, Thursday’s release highlights a number of claims about the former contractor’s actions in the run-up to the leak and the disclosure’s subsequent impact. The committee had previously issued a three-page executive summary of the classified report in September, following a two-year inquiry into Snowden’s actions.
