Summary
This document is a page from a House Oversight report detailing the timeline and circumstances of Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Russia in 2013. It refutes Snowden's claim that he was trapped in Russia by the US, presenting evidence that his passport was revoked before he left Hong Kong and that the Russian government (specifically Putin and Aeroflot) facilitated his travel. It also implicates WikiLeaks in funding and assisting his escape and cites Russian officials claiming Snowden shared intelligence with Russian security services.
