Julian Assange
He pleaded guilty to a single felony charge for publishing U.S. military secrets in a deal with Justice Department prosecutors that secures his freedom.
The long-running legal saga spanned multiple continents and centered on the publication of a trove of classified documents.
His supporters cheered and applauded outside court as news of the ruling reached them from inside the Royal Courts of Justice.
A British court says Julian Assange cant immediately be extradited to the U.S. on espionage charges, in a partial victory for the WikiLeaks founder.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Signatories include Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Cori Bush (Mo.) along with Republicans such as Thomas Massie (Ky.) and Rand Paul (Ky.).
The decision is a big moment in the WikiLeaks founder's years-long battle to avoid facing trial in the U.S. though not necessarily the end of the tale.
A British judge has formally approved the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to face spying charges.
Britains High Court overturned a lower court ruling that found Assange's mental health was too fragile to withstand the American justice system.
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon and rapper Lil Wayne are among those being granted clemency by the outgoing president.
The WikiLeaks founder earlier this week avoided being extradited to the U.S. where he is wanted on charges of violating the Espionage Act.
