US President Donald Trump gestures while speaking during a news conference at the White House
DONALD TRUMP’S administration has prosecuted national security leaks more aggressively than any presidency in US history, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition hearing was told today.
Lawyer and historian Carey Shenkman said that the US President is on track to exceed the number of Espionage Act cases brought under Barack Obama’s two terms in less than four years.
Assange, 49, is fighting extradition to the US to face 17 charges under the 1917 law, as well as an 18th charge alleging he plotted to hack computers.
