Summary
This page appears to be from a book manuscript (likely by journalist Edward Jay Epstein) included in House Oversight records. The narrator describes being in Moscow in November 2013, attempting unsuccessfully to interview Edward Snowden via his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena. Failing that, the narrator contacts Andrei Lugovoy, a suspect in the Alexander Litvinenko poisoning, and arranges a meeting at the National Hotel to discuss the case and potentially gain access to Kucherena.
