Australia Asks DOJ to Reach Plea Deal With Assange

The Justice Department is facing mounting pressure to strike a plea deal with Julian Assange, prompted by requests from Australia and legal complexities in the UK.

Australia has urged the US to negotiate a deal that could allow Assange to return home, while a UK court deadline looms for the US to guarantee Assange’s free speech protections under the First Amendment.

Without such assurances, Assange could pursue further appeals against extradition from the UK, where he has been held for five years.

Efforts to resolve the case have intensified, with discussions of potential plea deals involving felony or misdemeanor charges.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called for closure, echoing sentiments from lawmakers in his country.

President Biden has acknowledged considering Australia’s request, the Wall Street Journal reported.
