Assange, DOJ Exploring Guilty Plea to End 14-Year Legal Drama
The U.S. Justice Department is contemplating the option of allowing Julian Assange to plead guilty to a lesser charge of mishandling classified information, as per individuals familiar with the situation.
This potential move opens the door to a negotiated agreement that might ultimately lead to his release from a British prison.
Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, is entangled in a protracted legal battle with the British government to evade extradition to the U.S. for trial over the publication of numerous confidential U.S. military documents and diplomatic cables circa 2010.
Currently, a U.K. court is deliberating whether to permit a final appeal by the 52-year-old.
Following his indictment by U.S. prosecutors in 2019, British law enforcement apprehended him, and he has remained in custody in a London jail since then.
In recent months, officials from the Justice Department and Assange’s legal team have engaged in preliminary discussions regarding the potential parameters of a plea bargain to conclude the extensive legal saga, insiders familiar with the matter have revealed.
This development signals a potential easing in a protracted standoff fraught with political and legal complexities, the Wall Street Journal reported.
