Book Manuscript/Proof Page (likely from Edward Jay Epstein's book on Snowden) included in Congressional Oversight records • 1.22 MB
View

This document appears to be a page (p. 43) from a book manuscript (likely by Edward Jay Epstein given the filename prefix 'Epst' and subject matter) produced as evidence for the House Oversight Committee. The text details Edward Snowden's attempts to secure a high-level Senior Executive Service (SES) position at the NSA in 2012 while working for Dell, his rejection of a lower-level G-13 offer in September 2012, and speculates on his motivations for seeking access to classified documents.
