Prosecutors said the materials were stolen by Russian intelligence.
Julian Assange endangered the lives of our troops in a time of war and should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” he. “The Biden administration’s plea deal with Assange is a miscarriage of justice and dishonors the service and sacrifice of the men and women of our Armed Forces and their families. There should be no plea deals to avoid prison for anyone that endangers the security of our military or the national security of the United States. Ever.
Former President Donald Trump, who Pence served under, was supportive of WikiLeaks in the lead-up to the 2016 election, famously saying “WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks.” Then-U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in 2017 Assange’s arrest was a priority.The stance by Pence is another bold move to defy Republican Party beliefs. Pence in April issued a statement of solidarity with House Speaker Mike Johnson, commending him for showing courage amid GOP opposition in Congress.
“I want to commend @SpeakerJohnson who I consider a personal friend, for demonstrating moral courage in this moment, in a very difficult time,” Pence wrote via X.Jackson Walker on X at @_jlwalker_ for the latest trending national news. Have a news tip? Send it to [email protected].
