The U.S. is asking Russia to clarify the status of fugitive former security contractor Edward Snowden after reports from Moscow that he’s been given papers to leave the airport, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
“We have seen the reports,” Carney told reporters traveling with President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One. “We are seeking clarity from the Russian authorities about Mr. Snowden’s status or any changes.”
