This provides a concrete lead (specific document, fiscal year, agencies) and ties to high‑level actors (NSA, CIA, President, Congress) and foreign intelligence services, making it a strong investigative angle, though the claim is unverified and relies on secondary commentary. Key insights: Snowden allegedly took the 2013 Congressional Budget Justification (black budget) while at Booz Allen.; The document lists funding and priorities for NSA, CIA, DIA, NRO, and other agencies.; Former CIA deputy director Michael Morell is quoted saying the SVR would pay millions for such a document.

Snowden allegedly offers Laura Poitras evidence of Obama‑signed “Presidential Policy 20” authorizing extensive NSA surveillance

If true, it would provide a concrete document to pursue, linking the President directly to illegal surveillance. However, the claim is unverified, lacks corroborating details (no copy of the policy, no official reference), and the broader allegation of Snowden’s offer is already public, limiting novelty.
