Snowden Comments on Rumors About Exchanging Him for Russian National Bout

21 March 2017, 18:06 GMT

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — There have been numerous reports about Snowden's alleged connection with WikiLeaks, fueled in particular by Assange-Snowden mutual support.

"I don’t talk to Julian Assange, I don’t talk to WikiLeaks, I have no relationship with them," Snowden said during a video link-up with German technology conference CeBit, adding that it was a "well established public fact."

Snowden has been residing in Russia since 2013, when he fled the United States after exposing the NSA massive online spying scheme.
