There is no evidence that this happens, and it is illegal for the US government to ask another country to spy on its citizens. If it happened, the resulting lawsuits would make headlines for weeks, and there would be forced resignations.

Didn't the Snowden documents and various things from that point give evidence that it _does_ happen?

Point me to any document that says the US asks other countries to spy on its citizens.

No. Nothing in Snowden's leaks showed this happening. If anything did, there would have been lawsuits. People believe there were a lot of things in those leaks that weren't actually there.
