The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has questioned whether Edward Snowden acted alone in leaking details of the National Security Agency's surveillance programs to U.S. and British newspapers last year.
In a prerecorded interview due to air on NBC's "Meet The Press" Sunday, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., describes the former NSA contractor as "a thief whom we believe had some help.
"Let me just say this. I believe there's a reason he ended up in the hands, the loving arms, of an FSB agent in Moscow," Rogers said, according to an early transcript provided by the program. "I don't think that's a coincidence."
Rogers also described other aspects of the case that raise questions for him, including "How [Snowden] arranged travel before he left. How he was ready to go, he had a go bag, if you will." Rogers also claims in the interview that some of the methods Snowden supposedly used to attain the information were "beyond his technical capabilities."
Snowden was granted temporary asylum in Russia this past August after traveling to Moscow from Hawaii via Hong Kong. In June, Snowden had identified himself as the leaker who had disclosed the NSA's collection of phone and Internet data to The Washington Post and The Guardian.
Rogers has joined the White House in calling upon Snowden to return to the United States, either voluntarily or through extradition, and stand trial. On Friday, President Obama announced some new restrictions on how the NSA will conduct surveillance and collect data, including requiring intelligence agencies to obtain approval from a FISA court – a secret U.S. court that governs surveillance of terrorist and foreign espionage targets - before accessing phone records.
