A lawyer for Julian Assange told a London court that she was present when an ally of US President Donald Trump offered to arrange a pardon for the WikiLeaks founder in return for information that would "benefit President Trump politically".Jennifer Robinson said she observed a meeting, approved by Donald Trump, offering the deal
She said Mr Rohrabacher and an assistant offered to arrange a pardon for Assange in return for information about the hacking of Democratic emails before the 2016 US presidential election. At the time, the White House called the assertion that Mr Trump had tried to reach a deal with Assange "a complete fabrication and a total lie".
During the 2016 US presidential campaign, WikiLeaks published a series of Democratic National Committee emails damaging to candidate Hillary Clinton.
good to see this reported at length without bias on most news bulletins today, well done OUR ABC!
Why doesn’t the Australian govt act against the shambles that is UK justice serving the US demands
paulbris2010 Work with PresidentTrump ! BonjourAudrey
British justice put this man in jail. Says a lot about British justice.
Yeah, Trump says one thing, his advisers on a professional level say a completely diff thing. When Assange was in court to get extradited to Sweden to be interviewed regarding RAPE allegations, and like a Coward, fleed and hid in Ecuador's Embassy. I was all for no extradition
Magnetic Island stands with Julian Assange.
Yup! Bribery!! It doesn't have to be 💰!
' Ms Robinson said in exchange for the pardon, Assange would need to provide details on who hacked democratic emails in 2016 ' So basically realDonaldTrump wanted to find out who was behind hacks? Doesn't that prove that he wasn't involved in it? What a misleading headline.
Remember when Assange broke neutrally because he thought Republicans were the good guys, then he came to discover they were in fact the most evil?
This guy will say anything to stay out of jail
Contempt? That should see him a free man. Fingers crossed.
We should definitely let that play out
No...They offered a Pardon if he helped to cover up Russia's involvement.

Free this poor guy. Australia should be fighting for him. FYI it was the Russians Of course Assange was hoping Trump would be friendly to him. They had a common enemy in Hillary Clinton. But the rapist named Assange was too stupid to realise you can't trust Trump. It was Trump all along!😳

Media calls out Trump but doesn't fact check Biden’s ‘crazy ramblings’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says it's funny how the media love to call out Donald Trump yet never fact check the 'crazy ramblings' of Joe Biden as he and the Democrats continally blame the President for the pandemic, bushfires, hurricanes and floods. \n\nMr Kenny said in the US there is the “same alarmism over the same issues”. \n\nIt comes as Mr Biden recently labelled President Trump a “climate arsonist” as wildfires continue to burn across a number of US states. \n\nEscalating his attacks on the US President ahead of the November election, Mr Biden argued Mr Trump’s inaction on climate change is exacerbating the devastating fires raging in America's west.\n\n“How many suburban neighbourhoods will have been flooded out? How many suburbs will have been blown away in superstorms? If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of America ablaze?” Mr Biden said during a stop in Delaware on Tuesday (AEST).\n\n“Funny how the media love to call out Trump exaggerations, often fair enough, but never fact check those sorts of crazy ramblings from Joe Biden,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Funny how the insane person gets called out. realDonaldTrump JoeBiden It's also funny how you always talk negative about JoeBiden whilst you kiss the ground realDonaldTrump walks on realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Not crazy. President Trump is part of the problem rather than the solution to those things. Lacks basic Leadership skills.
