REPORTER: What can you tell us about Edward Snowden's whereabouts and is the White House working under the assumption that he's still in Russia?
CARNEY: We understand that he departed Hong Kong yesterday and that he arrived in Russia. Beyond that, I would refer you, with regards to his whereabouts, to Russian authorities.
REPORTER: So you can't tell us--
CARNEY: It is our assumption that he is in Russia, yes.
REPORTER: What kind of conversations are happening right now between the U.S. and Russia? I know there was a statement last night saying that you've asked the Russians to look at all options for trying to expel him. Are they receptive? Are they working toward that goal?
CARNEY: I would say that we are obviously in conversations and we are working with them, or discussing with them, or rather expecting them, to look at the options available to them to expel Mr. Snowden back to the United States to face justice for the crimes with which he is charged. I would note that given our intensified cooperation with Russia after the Boston Marathon bombings, and our history of working with Russia on law enforcement matters, including returning numerous high-level criminals back to Russia at the request of the Russian government, that we do expect the Russian government to look at all the options available to them to expel Mr. Snowden back to the United States.
