 It doesn't, but it does help us with identity. We don't know that the message was actually from the real Snowden, but we do know that it was from someone possessing the same private key as the previous account that we assumed was Snowden.

The possibilities in descending likelihood are: 
 - this is Snowden
 - the previous was not Snowden

Most of the time that last one has a higher probability, but ... Snowden.
