Edward Snowden won’t be President Trump’s trophy, his lawyers say.
Snowden’s Russian lawyer on Saturday dismissed an NBC News report that said Moscow was considering turning over the NSA leaker as a “gift” to Trump.
“Someone is indulging in wishful thinking,” lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told the Interfax news agency.
Snowden’s US-based ACLU lawyer, Ben Wizner, added there was “no reason for concern.”
NBC News reported Friday that Russian officials are considering handing over the leaker of NSA secrets as one of several schemes to “curry favor” with the president.
Trump has called Snowden, 33, a “traitor” who deserves to be executed.
