Russia is considering sending Edward Snowden back to the US as a “gift” to President Trump, a report says.

A senior US official with knowledge of sensitive Russian intelligence information told NBC News on Friday that they would be handing over the NSA leaker in the attempt to “curry favor” with Trump.

A second intelligence source confirmed that the Russians had been deliberating with US officials since the inauguration.

While the White House had no comment, Snowden’s ACLU lawyer, Ben Wizner, claimed he was unaware of such plans.

“Team Snowden has received no such signals and has no new reason for concern,” he said.

Snowden — who stole scores of top-secret documents during his time as an NSA contractor — responded to the report on Twitter Friday night.

“Finally: irrefutable evidence that I never cooperated with Russian intel,” the 33-year-old tweeted, along with a link to the NBC News article.

“No country trades away spies, as the rest would fear they’re next,” he said.

Former deputy national security adviser Juan Zarate told NBC that Trump should ultimately be wary of the move.

“For Russia, this would be a win-win,” Zarate explained. “It would signal warmer relations and some desire for greater cooperation with the new administration, but it would also no doubt stoke controversies and cases in the U.S. around the role of surveillance, the role of the U.S. intelligence community, and the future of privacy and civil liberties in an American context. All of that would perhaps be music to the ears of Putin.”

Justice Department officials, on the other-hand, told NBC they would ultimately welcome Snowden back with open arms.

A spokesman for President Putin simply called the return “nonsense,” NBC reports.

Back in July, the president blasted Snowden as a “spy” and a “traitor” — saying he “would deal with him harshly” if he were to ever return.

“If I were president, Putin would give him over,” Trump tweeted.

In 2013, he even went so far as to suggest giving him a death sentence.

“Snowden is a spy who should be executed,” Trump tweeted.

The North Carolina native has been living in Moscow since 2013 after being accused of giving the top-secret NSA information to the press, most of which contained details of US domestic surveillance programs.

After being charged with violating the Espionage Act, Snowden fled to Russia and was granted a residency permit. His stay had been recently extended until 2020.
