Report: Biden DOJ Considers a Plea Deal for WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange

Assange is holed up in a supermax prison in Britain awaiting extradition after being charged with multiple felonies under the Espionage Act for releasing secret documents exposing immense government and corporate criminality.
