Julian Assange Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy Charge

US Plead Deal

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is set to plead guilty to a conspiracy charge this week as part of a plea deal with the United States, according to multiple reports.

The plea deal, which must still be approved by a federal judge, would resolve the long-running legal saga surrounding Assange and his website, WikiLeaks.

UK Release

Monday Release

As of Monday morning, Assange had been released from a UK prison. His wife, Stella Assange, posted a video on Tuesday morning showing her husband signing paperwork and boarding a plane on Monday.

US Espionage Violation

Assange is expected to plead guilty to violating US Espionage law on Wednesday. The charges stem from his alleged involvement in the release of classified US military and diplomatic documents by WikiLeaks.

Years-Long Legal Saga

The plea deal marks the end of a years-long legal saga for Assange, who has been fighting extradition from the UK to the US since 2010.

UK Departure

WikiLeaks has confirmed that Assange has left the UK after reaching a deal with US authorities.
