Summary
This document is page 269 of a manuscript or book (likely titled 'The Handler' based on the header) produced by the House Oversight Committee. It details the events surrounding Edward Snowden's request for asylum in Russia, describing a bizarre 'press conference' with no press allowed. The text focuses on the author's conversations with Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, regarding Snowden's 'dossier,' his interviews with Russian intelligence (FSB/SVR), and the confirmation that Snowden brought secret materials with him to Russia.
