    Edward Snowden was born in 1983 and worked for both the NSA and CIA, stationed in several countries. In 2013, he fled the US and leaked roughly 200,000 classified NSA documents to journalists, revealing NSA surveillance programs. Snowden first went to Hong Kong and met with journalists to share the documents before going to Russia, where he has remained since 2013 seeking asylum from US extradition attempts. Critics argue Snowden endangered national security and put surveillance programs at risk, while Snowden maintains he revealed important information about government overreach.
