Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Monday that National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden’s travels from Hong Kong to Russia — a move that was reportedly authorized by China — will complicate the United States’ relationships with those countries.

“I think it complicates these things. I think it complicates all the countries he’s going to,” Ryan said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe. “Put aside whether or not the program works or not.
