Summary
This document page (137) from a House Oversight file details the aftermath of Edward Snowden's flight to Russia, specifically focusing on whether he retained sensitive NSA documents. Through interviews with his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena (conducted by Sophie Shevardnadze in 2013 and the author in 2015), it is confirmed that Snowden did not give all documents to journalists in Hong Kong but retained a second, more sensitive set of files while in Russia.
