British police arrested WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Thursday after his seven-year asylum revoked. He is heading towards the US for the extradition of one of the major leaks of classified information. We are going to discuss Assange US charges and Trump’s statement.
A video landed online, where around 7 people were dragging 47-year-old Assange with white hair and beard out of Ecuador’s London embassy.
Meanwhile, the US officials announced that he was accused of single count conspiracy. He committed computer intrusion.
While arresting, Assange was yelling “This is unlawful, I’m not leaving.”

President Donald Trump who appreciated WikiLeaks in 2016 by saying, “I love WikiLeaks” is now being ambiguous of everything. In 2016, WikiLeaks released the emails hacked by Russia to harm Hilary Clinton.
Trumps says that he doesn’t have any opinion regarding charges against Assange.
Further, he said, “I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It’s not my thing.”
Doesn’t it seem weird?
Julian pronounced him not guilty of not surrendering in 2012 in London court.
Judge Michael Snow called Assange a “narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interests”. He also convicted him of skipping original bail. However, sentencing will take place later.
