Trump offered WikiLeaks's Assange pardon if he covered up Russian hacking of Democrats, lawyer says

A White House spokesman and Rohrabacher did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the claims made by Assange's lawyers.The Justice Department has said that Russian agents hacked emails from the DNC and from John Podesta, the campaign chairman for 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, in 2016.

that members of Trump's campaign had a series of contacts with WikiLeaks and people related to its operation about the Clinton campaign emails. Trump's friend and former advisor, Republican operative Roger Stone, is due to be sentenced Thursday in federal court in Washington, D.C., for charges that relate to his lying to Congress about his contacts with WikiLeaks during the 2016 election.

Assange is currently in British custody after having been expelled from Ecuador's embassy in London, where he had lived for nearly seven years. Federal authorities want Assange to be extradited to the U.S. in order to face charges.

Wow

🙄🙄🙄 you guys just love to stir up shit in this country, news is half the problems in this country and politics are the other half....

Why is he still our president

Strange timing

When are you going to stop peddling bullshit?

This is so funny. They are so desperate.

OMG, we should impeach trump for that!

And the Michael Avenatti loving media is buying it.

Michael Avenatti is a lawyer and NBC believed him too.

I would think that if he were in cahoots with Trump, there would likely be a lot of damaging evidence that he could throw at Trump.

Assange is on record in 2016, BEFORE the election, 'IT WASNT THE RUSSIANS.' now you're trying to use FAKE NEWS to burn Assange from testifying that muh russians is, and always has been, a giant lie

Oh ok....this time Fake CNBC is telling the truuuuuuuuth.... Not

You guys call yourself news with BS like this? fake as hell and you know it.

And my mom is the queen of England

Impeach CNBC

Let me guess? Reported by CNBC and checked the facts. Yeah right

End corruption!

Assange's lawyer said another lawyer said an intermediary said Trump said... Got that?

Total bullshit. More irresponsible reporting by Politics

Get the F out of here with this BS

Impeach him again!!

Impeach again!

Lawyer says. lol

Assange denied the the emails came from Russia before the election. This story is bs

Don t EVER TRUST!!!!!!!!

Liar 🤥🤥🤥🤥

“Lawyer says”

As usual, fake news all around msm! I'm not surprised!

Russians hacking the Democrats. No way he did that. Not like he said it out loud during a debate and RudyGiuliani alluded to it many time on news channels before the release. Trump is a god fearing great American. When he isn't trying to sleep with your daughters and porn stars.

Fake! Fake! Fake!

Bxxx Sxxx

Seth Rich was the leaker.

JFC!!!!

Talk about a 'hearsay'. This attorney heard it from another attorney, who heard it from Assange when he met with a California Congressman, who says was asked by DT. That's great. Let's spend another $20m trying to connect those dots for the next 8 months.

These kinds of bylines is the reason people have lost respect in journalism.

How convenient for realDonaldTrump to deny knowing people when it doesn't fit his narrative. When are his supporters going to see him conman he is?

another headline to distract us from what we should be doing...getting ahead.

My cousin told me that he heard this first hand from his friend that was told by his sister whom is dating the guy that was told in a bar by the guy that overheard this loudly on the phone that this is what happened

How many time can Trumpeter claim he doesn’t know person X or that person X is lying.....at what point to the SCARED GOP whipping boys stand up like MEN and call BS? If it smells like BS and looks like a BS....ITS BS!!

RobertJ92022975 So are we saying “Russian Collusion”?🤔🤣

Indeed, this will impeach the whole phony Russia, Russia, Russia narrative. If Assange can provide PROOF of where he got the emails from; then he will deserve a pardon and we can put to bed this coup attempt based on lies. The truth will set you free.

You get what you get when you put an aka real estate agent in office. 'YOU FOOLISH PAWN'S' -GREED

Trump 2020! SethRich didn't kill himself and NBC is very fake news.

This is not true, you idiots.

Trump just continues to be corrupt.

Talk about proof Russians were involved. POTUS sold out. Fill in the blanks.

After seeing this; Republicans: FAKE NEWS & a TOTAL WITCH HUNT. Dems: Another milestone & proof in impeachment trial. Me: 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴 after having read & watched this impeachment shit . Nothing has changed. Bernie for 2020!!!!

Our dollar bills are embossed with “In God We Trust” & somehow we end up with realDonaldTrump & the SenateGOP who by any sane definition are the most ungodly, unpatriotic & corrupt bunch of human beings the USA has ever been cursed with.

Oh, wow ... some hack lawyer says it happened ... and now you put it out through your fakestream. It simply MUST be true then! LyingFakestreamMedia

states HillaryClinton's personal emails were hacked by the Russians verifying they were not properly secured. This is the first mainstream outlet to confirm Comey blew 'the matter'.

Never an end to fake propaganda

Nope , lets believe our savior realDonaldTrump only . irony Sarcasm

Well at least Wikileaks is doing what they keep saying they are... leaking cover ups and shady shit. They could have taken his help n stayed quiet on this.

So? What’s gonna happen now?

Bold faced damn lie, State controlled media poisoning the well against a pardon for Assange.

Once he is pardoned, perhaps he'll tell us all who he received the emails from? Sooner or later the truth will trickle out.

GOP....

Fake news!

Wrong. The DNC refused to provide direct evidence for analysis. VIPS memo analyzed the data later & concluded that it was a leak. SethRich You guys are liars. Hillary colluded /w DNC, rigged primaries, & laundered $ into her campaign via her 'Victory Fund'. DNCFraudLawsuit

FGS At least make an effort at responsible reporting.

Another hoax, another lie

Proof?

this has nothing to do with interfernce in an election trump said earlier today while his pants were on fire.

The truth will come out!

Thats called “ Obstruction of Justice “ to all the Maga’s out there.

Let’s impeach him again!

Smells like fakenews

Ya right. Thinking the stories are going to get more and more absurd as the Dems panic increases.

Even CNBC joined the fake group

Assange repeatedly stated that the DNC leak was not done by state actors. He has never been proven wrong. This is FakeNews leftists fetish fantasy porn.

Ah, a psycho's last grasp at relevance.

Lawyer Lies 😳

Now THAT is an impeachable offence (if there is validity to it).

This is a damn lie

Fake news.

It’s possible to believe that Trump is capable of this AND the lawyer is capable of lying about it at the same time. I’m skeptical, is what I’m saying.

please provide proof. tired of 'claims.'

hahaha.

Wow! cnbc is now in the political lying business. JoeSquawk - please save your employer. They’ve gotten worse even with Harwood gone. Guessing there’s big Bloomberg fans behind this “rumor”

진짜 어산지 좀 도와 주라..제발... 가장 현명하게 용감하게 나선 사람이다. 왜 미국은 이 사람을 죄인 취급하는 거냐?

😂😂😂
