Summary
This document appears to be a page of endnotes (page 319) from a book, likely 'How America Lost Its Secrets' by Edward Jay Epstein, bearing a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' stamp. The text details sources and citations regarding Edward Snowden's flight from the US, the revocation of his passport by the State Department in June 2013, and various interviews conducted by the author with intelligence officials and journalists. The document references whistleblowers, the FBI, the NSA, and Russian President Vladimir Putin's involvement in the Snowden affair. While the prompt requests 'Epstein-related' data, this specific page concerns Edward Snowden; the 'Epstein' connection is likely the author of the book, Edward Jay Epstein, rather than Jeffrey Epstein.
