The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Mike Rogers (R., Mich.) says Edward Snowden likely received help while stealing information from the National Security Agency — and that help may have come from Russian intelligence officials.
"I believe there's questions to be answered there," Rogers said Sunday on Meet The Press. "I don't think it was a gee-whiz luck event that he ended up in Moscow under the handling of the FSB."
Rogers also went onto question how Snowden arranged travel out of the United States before leaking the trove of secret documents and eventually making his way to Russia.
"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. "I don’t think that’s a coincidence."
