Former NSA (National Security Agency) employee Edward Snowden took an oath and was granted a Russian passport, his lawyer Anatoly Kucherena told TASS on Friday, APA reports citing TASS.
"Yes, he received a passport. He took the oath," Kucherena said in response to a question as to whether Snowden has been given a Russian passport.
The lawyer also said that Snowden’s spouse is currently submitting the required documents for Russian citizenship as well.
