Read our privacy policy President Joe Biden has said that his administration is weighing whether to accede to the Australian government’s request to end the years-long prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is currently fighting extradition from the United Kingdom after years in detention there. Last month, the Australian parliament’s lower house voted to approve a measure officially calling for the US to drop the case against Mr Assange, whose organisation has been described by US officials as a “hostile non-state intelligence” entity which helped Russia interfere in the 2016 election on behalf of former president Donald Trump. Prosecutors allege that Mr Assange conspired with and assisted Ms Manning’s efforts “to crack a password hash to a classified US Department of Defense computer” while Ms Manning was serving as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq. Mr Assange has been detained by British authorities since 2019 when he was dragged from Ecuador’s London embassy, where he’d been evading arrest on bail-jumping charges for the previous seven years.
