It is easy to see Trump claim that he would not get a fair trial in the U.S.

Former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden is requesting an extended residency permit in Russia for three more years.

His lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said his permit was due for expiration in April of this year, according to a report by CNN.

"Yes, a couple of days ago we have filed documents to extend his permit for three more years and we hope it will be satisfied," Kucherena said, according to Russian state news agency TASS.

In September of last year, the American whistleblower said he would return to the U.S. if he could be guaranteed a fair trial.
