This document appears to be page 94 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename prefix 'Epst'), produced as evidence in a House Oversight investigation. The text chronicles the events of June 6-9, 2013, detailing the publication of NSA leak stories by The Guardian and The Washington Post, and Edward Snowden's decision to reveal his identity via a video interview filmed by Laura Poitras. The page discusses the coordination between journalists Greenwald, Gellman, and Poitras, and the immediate government and media reaction to the disclosures.
