Mr. Assange, an Australian, faces multiple federal charges in the U.S., including several violations of the Espionage Act for his role in running WikiLeaks, the secret-spilling website he started in 2006.
Specifically, prosecutors allege WikiLeaks illegally solicited, received and then released classified documents containing sensitive details about U.S. military and diplomatic operations around the world.
While the Obama administration declined to charge Mr. Assange over the disclosures, which began in 2010, the Department of Justice reversed course after former President Trump entered office in 2017.
Mr. Assange was ultimately charged by the Justice Department in 2019 and has been jailed in London ever since pending the outcome of lingering extradition proceedings extended by the appeal being approved.
