WikiLeaks��s Julian Assange hit with U.S. charges, court filing reveals
In a development that could significantly advance the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and have major implications for those who publish government secrets, the founder of WikiLeaks has been charged under seal, prosecutors inadvertently revealed in a recent court filing from another case.
The disclosure came in a case unrelated to Assange. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kellen S. Dwyer, urging a judge to keep the matter sealed, wrote that, ��due to the sophistication of the defendant and the publicity surrounding the case, no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged.�� Later, Dwyer wrote the charges would ��need to remain sealed until Assange is arrested.��
