DoJ debating charges against WikiLeaks over CIA leaks [but note in fact Obama kept Grand Jury going into 2017]

 

 

US authorities have prepared charges to seek the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, CNN has reported.

The Justice Department under President Barack Obama had decided not to charge WikiLeaks for revealing some of the government's most sensitive secrets - concluding that doing so would be akin to prosecuting a news organisation for publishing classified information.

Justice Department leadership under President Donald Trump, though, had indicated to prosecutors that it was open to taking another look at the case.

Prosecutors in recent weeks have been drafting a memo that contemplates charges against members of the WikiLeaks organiSation, possibly including conspiracy, theft of government property or violating the Espionage Act, officials said.

DoJ debating charges against WikiLeaks over CIA leaks [but note in fact Obama kept Grand Jury going into 2017]

 

Federal prosecutors are weighing whether to bring criminal charges against members of the WikiLeaks organization, taking a second look at a 2010 leak of diplomatic cables and military documents and investigating whether the group bears criminal responsibility for the more recent revelation of sensitive CIA cyber-tools, according to people familiar with the case.

Justice Department leadership under President Trump, though, has indicated to prosecutors that it is open to taking another look at the case, which the Obama administration did not formally close.

It is not clear whether prosecutors are also looking at WikiLeaks’ role last year in publishing emails from the Democratic National Committee and the account of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta
