The former Army intelligence officer was questioned as part of an investigation into WikiLeaks.

By Rachel Weiner Rachel Weiner Local reporter covering federal court in Alexandria, Va. and local court in Arlington and Alexandria. Email Bio Follow March 7 at 1:50 PM Former Army intelligence officer Chelsea Manning faces possible jail time after refusing to answer a grand jury’s questions about her disclosure of classified State Department cables and war logs in 2010 to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.

“Yesterday, I appeared before a secret grand jury after being given immunity for my testimony,” Manning said in a statement Thursday. “All of the substantive questions pertained to my disclosures of information to the public in 2010 — answers I provided in extensive testimony, during my court-martial in 2013.

“I will exhaust every legal remedy available,” Manning said in her statement. “My legal team continues to challenge the secrecy of these proceedings, and I am prepared to face the consequences of my refusal.” David House, who befriended Manning in 2010 at a hacker space in Boston he founded, testified under immunity in front of the grand jury last July. He said he, too, was asked about the war logs Manning shared with WikiLeaks.

Insert Jake from State Farm joke here:

She should be returned to jail, it was disgusting that a traitor was pardoned - but then again, that president was a traitor too.

You spelled Bradley wrong

Manning does know that get out of jail free card was only good ONCE, right?

He is Obama's favorite convicted traitor.

Looking good!....freak

Keep fighting, xychelsea. You're a hero and have done nothing wrong.

GOOD !!!!!

Good people on both sides?

xychelsea answer their questions you were given immunity... This is about our nation security...

Why the FUCK isn't this interview getting the wall to wall coverage like the R Kelly one? CNN MSNBC NBCNews politico nytimes AP CBSNews Reuters nypost NewYorker NYDailyNews PBS NPR McClatchyDC MSNBCPR CNNPR

Good. Throw the book at her... Manning getting clemency always irked me.

She cites 4th amendment rights. Justifiable invasion of privacy? Hmmm.

Hi folks. Woman who happens to be trans here. Chelsea is making a silly legal argument here, but we can disagree with her and criticize that without resorting to transphobic tropes. Thx!

Deserves a Nobel peace prize...like Julian. Politicians are the ones that need to answer a few questions. Treasonous, greedy parasites. You treat the country's defence force, like cannon fodder.

Is this the same freak Obama pardoned?

Good. There is few things i can stand less than someone who prides themselves on treason. If there were any justice in this world Manning would be still be in a prison cell for life.

Who let this traitor out of jail...? oh yeah. Obama.

LockthatTraitorousGeneticDefectUp where it belongs.

'Former Army intelligence officer' You mean Private First Class with entry-level job.

So this is the thanks after your sentence is commuted? Julian Assange is not worth sticking by.

Hope she makes it out okay 🙏

it's BRADLEY

I never understood selling USA out. I did have compassion for her situation w/her body but I never understood what she hoped to gain by selling USA out?

Hopefully he goes to jail

Whoever’s giving him makeup advice needs to be replaced. Oof!

Unsealed court opinions in the Mueller mystery grand jury case show how the court challenge evolvedSupreme Court lawyer neal_katyal, who drafted the special counsel regulations in 1999: If Team Trump tries to squelch the Mueller and Barr reports, 'I do think it will be the end of the administration.' CNN is fake news. Believe me. I know fake news. Evolving only happens to Pokémon. 👌🏻 The mueller case is just an extension of the rage that democrats have never been able to deal with, since Donald Trump was elected. When mueller reports that there was no collusion, and there is nothing to warrant anything further investigation, MSM will begin another case. Tell seen Reed yes, as he said the law is the law...and the man occupying position of potus is an UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR by DOJ & not exempt from prosecution...one rule of law for one America!
