WASHINGTON, D.C. (KRON) — Russia is considering sending Edward Snowden back to the United States as a “gift” to President Donald Trump, according to NBC News.
Trump had called the NSA leaker a “traitor” and “spy” who should be executed, NBC News reported.
NBC cited a senior U.S. official as their source.
Snowden took to Twitter to respond to NBC’s report on Friday.
Finally: irrefutable evidence that I never cooperated with Russian intel. No country trades away spies, as the rest would fear they’re next. https://t.co/YONqZ1gYqm— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) February 10, 2017
