View

This document appears to be a page from a House Oversight report or narrative detailing the timeline of Edward Snowden's leak of NSA documents in May-June 2013. It describes his movements in Hong Kong, his communications with Washington Post journalist Barton Gellman (issuing an ultimatum to publish), and the intelligence risks posed by Chinese and Russian services monitoring him. The text highlights the pressure Snowden was under to publish before his medical leave expired on June 3rd, at which point the NSA would realize he was missing.
