Snowden: ‘no relationship’ with Russian government
May 30, 2014
(Reuters) – Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden told a U.S. television interviewer on Wednesday he was not under the control of Russia’s government and had given Moscow no intelligence documents after nearly a year of asylum there.
“I have no relationship with the Russian government at all,” Snowden said in an interview with NBC News, his first with a U.S. television network. “I’m not supported by the Russian government. I’m not taking money from the Russian government. I’m not a spy.”
