US won’t pardon Snowden

The advisor to the US President on National Security, Lisa Monaco, has said that the administration of the US President has rejected a petition to pardon the former US intelligence officer Edward Snowden. 

She noted that Snowden should return to the US to stand trial, "but not hide behind the veil of an authoritarian regime." "Now he is running away from the consequences of his actions", gazeta.ru cites her words in response to the petition.
