Possibility of pardoning Assange is not considered: White House

US President Joe Biden does not consider the possibility of pardoning Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. This was announced by the White House.

"No, such a thing is not being discussed," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

It should be reminded that the case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was dismissed. He faced up to 175 years in prison.

It was reported that Assange's release was made possible as part of a deal with the US Department of Justice. In court, Assange pleaded guilty to violating the Espionage Act, receiving and disseminating information threatening national security.
