what seemed to be a weird even slightly surreal error in a federal court filing. one of the federal prosecutors who works in the u.s. attorney s office in e.d.v.a. inexplicably in the middle of a filing and a totally unrelated case somehow randomly popped in this language in a whole different case that referenced julian assange. it was very weird. this was this unexpected insert in a random case which said that julian assange from wikileaks had been charged in an american federal indictment and that fact needed to remain under seal until after julian asasange had been arrested and everyone was like this case isn t about that and julian assange has been charged and he s going to be arrested and what? that was back in november. it was such a random way to learn that information and the u.s. attorney s office came out quickly and had their spokesperson say that was in error. that was not supposed to be
in a whole different case that referenced julian assange. it was very weird. this was this unexpected insert in a random case which said that julian assange from wikileaks had been charged in an american federal indictment and that fact needed to remain under seal until after julian assange had been arrested in conjunction with those charges, and everybody was like, dude, what, this case isn t even about that and julian assange has been arrested and he s going to be charged and what? that was back in november. it was such a random way to learn that information and the u.s. attorney s office came out quickly and had their spokesperson say that was an error. that was not supposed to be there. that was just a mistake, just a typo, fat finger kind of the washington post, however, reported at the time that although that language about julian assange was unintentionally disclosed in that unrelated case, according to people familiar with the matter, that language about julian assange was,
he lied to banks, lied to the irs, lied to all kinds of folks, spread more lies about the commander-in-chief of our country while the president of the united states is working to make the world safer and meeting with kim in vietnam. he s doing this when the president have a high-stakes summit and going to bring up the buzz feed report donald trump ordered him to lie to congress which was so erroneous, the special counsel actually broke protocol and had a spokesperson say that s not true. we had no evidence of that. michael cohen essentially saying believe me or believe the president. much of his testimony started with kim apologizing, in a groveling apology toward senators, i am so sorry i lied, don t know what i was thinking, don t know how he said it but he apologized repeatedly for lying to congress and he will testify before congress. jedediah: a freeman for two more months.
elizabeth warren hasn t officially announced she s running yet for president but she s already dealing with a revelation that could throw it in jeopardy. the washington post is reporting that elizabeth warren listed her race on the document as american indian when registering for the texas bar back in 1986. this wasn t checking a box as you see there. this was her handwriting in her own words on that form. just last week, senator warren apologized to cherokee nation for claiming native american heritage in the past. her spokesperson say said senator warren has said she is not a citizen of any tribe. she is sorry she was not more mindful of this earlier in her career. she s been dealing with this for years. i do wonder why this is coming out now.
ensnared from publishing the hacked hillary clinton e-mails in the election. they needed to keep the charges against asasange confidential. a spokesperson say that the filings were made but mistake but they would not comment further on any possible charges. his attorneys in the united states and the united kingdom called it troubling and a dangerous path for democracy to take. we didn t see assange at the embassy today, but it appears his welcome may be wearing thin. hi was recently called a stone in our shoe and he fears he may be forced out soon. in fact he lost a court case last month and he was trying to
