The White House denied Tuesday that it was involved in the feds’ plea deal allowing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to go to Australia — despite President Biden previously saying he was “considering” it.
“This was an independent decision made by the Department of Justice, and there was no White House involvement in the plea deal decision,” said Adrienne Watson, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.
A source close to Assange, who is expected to receive a sentence of time served, said they were unaware of what if any role Biden may have played in the final resolution of the case.
