WASHINGTON – The US State Department said on June 26 that its involvement in the resolution of the Julian Assange case was very limited, but a department spokesperson reiterated the American position that the WikiLeaks founder’s actions had put lives at risk.
While Washington has often called Mr Assange’s actions reckless and claimed they put its agents at risk of harm, the judge noted on June 26 that the US could not identify any personal victim from them. “The State Department did an extraordinary amount of work when we found out that these cables were going to be published to get people out of harm’s way... and take action so people that would be put in danger would be put out of harm’s way,” the spokesperson said.
