Snowden's father issued Russian visa for visit

National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden’s father has secured documents to visit his son in Russia and plans to discuss how he could fight espionage charges.

Neither Lon Snowden nor his lawyer Bruce Fein has spoken directly with the former NSA analyst since he fled the United States and was given asylum in Russia, they said. But the father and lawyer also said they look forward to meeting Edward Snowden to consider options for the leaker to return to the United States at some point.
