Relationship Details

This page from a House Oversight document (Bates 020347) details the logistics and motivations behind Edward Snowden's flight from Hong Kong to Moscow in 2013. It argues that Snowden likely never intended to travel to Latin America (Ecuador or Cuba) because he feared CIA capture there, a sentiment he expressed to journalists like Katrina vanden Heuvel and Glenn Greenwald. The document recounts the media frenzy surrounding Aeroflot flight SU-150, noting that while reporters swarmed the plane based on a tip, Snowden was never on board.
