The Australian lawyer representing Julian Assange has told his extradition hearing the Trump administration offered Assange a pardon over the WikiLeaks publications if he outed the source of the 2016 DNC email hack.

Jennifer Robinson, the Australian lawyer representing Julian Assange, has told his extradition hearing the Trump administration offered Assange a pardon over the WikiLeaks publications if he outed the source of the 2016 DNC email hack.

"At no time did I offer Julian Assange anything from the President because I had not spoken with the President about this issue at all," Rohrabacher"However, when speaking with Julian Assange, I told him that if he could provide me information and evidence about who actually gave him the DNC emails, I would then call on President Trump to pardon him."

She said that Rohrabacher described the offer as a "win-win solution" in which Assange would be given a "pardon, assurance or a commitment" preventing an indictment in return for giving up the source of the 2016 hack of the DNC email servers, allowing the 49-year-old to "get on with his life".

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.
