The full extradition hearing is then set to resume for three weeks in mid-May, when witnesses will be called and cross-examined, with an eventual ruling expected by August at the latest. “I’m not able to guide them,” Assange said Thursday, in his latest courtroom outburst — which Baraitser has repeatedly advised him against making.

He spent much of the past decade holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault — since dropped — that he and his supporters argue were politically motivated. He also detailed the US claims that Assange helped US intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to steal the documents before recklessly releasing them.
