In his latest interview, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden strongly denied media claims that he gave out classified data to China and Russia.

According to the Guardian, Snowden also refuted the claims that the Chinese and Russian authorities drained out the contents of his laptops containing the huge data on US led secret surveillance program.

The report said that it was claimed by 'two western intelligence agents' who believed that Chinese government had drained the contents of Snowden's four laptops which he brought with him to Hong Kong.

However, there had been no evidence if these claims were true.

Snowden who is still holed up at Moscow airport's transit area has been offered asylum by Venezuela, in a bid to escape US' Espionage charges.
