A story seemingly originating with NBC news and citing unnamed high ranking officials- so take it with a large grain of salt.
But the gist is that Russia is considerring handing over Edward Snowden to the US as a "gift" to the Trump administration. Trump and his allies have spoken particularly harshly of Snowden, even saying he was a traitor who deserved the death penalty for treason.
If returned to the US he could be looking at a sentence of at least 30 years, and presumably could be put to death for treason.
