HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020263.jpg

This document, Page 111 of a House Oversight report (marked HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020263), details the timeline of Edward Snowden's stay in Hong Kong in mid-2013 and his interactions with Russian officials prior to fleeing to Moscow. It highlights intelligence suggesting Snowden was in contact with Russian 'diplomatic representatives' well before his public exposure on June 9, 2013, and notes his flight on Aeroflot SU213 on June 23, 2013. The text contrasts Snowden's evasive public statements with reports from the Russian newspaper Kommersant about his visits to the Russian consulate, including a birthday celebration.
