Rumbull the free speech alternative to YouTube tonight the truth that

moment of truth is essentially coming to a head for Julian Assange and the Biden Justice

Department.

He has been battling, the WikiLeaks founder has, since he was arrested in 2019 in the Ecuadorian embassy in London the efforts by the

Biden Justice Department to extrate him to the United States to stand trial on

espionage charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 for apparently the crime

of publishing top secret documents which revealed serious war crimes on the part of the United States and the British in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as corruption on the part of their allies.

Shortly thereafter, the British Home Secretary signed an extradition order, ordering Assange to

stand trial in the United States, and Assange has been over, spent the year invoking all the last appeals that he has and he is

essentially out of appeals. Earlier this week a British court has rejected one of his last appeals.

The only appeal he has left is a last ditch procedural one

before a British court and then possibly an appeal

to a European court on the ground that his extradition would violate European human rights

guarantees.

But absent some highly unexpected event, Assange will find himself in a Virginia courthouse, standing trial on felonies under the Espionage Act,

all stemming from WikiLeaks's 2010 publications of classified documents that WikiLeaks did not obtain,

but was instead provided to them by then US Army Private

Chelsea Manning. We'll examine these possible last-minute interventions and the

reason why the Biden administration may not want Assange coming to coming to the US at all.
