London’s Metropolitan Police arrested Julian Assange on Thursday after the WikiLeaks founder was evicted by Ecuador from their embassy in the British capital.
The eviction and arrest came about after the South American country revoked Assange’s asylum status.
Ecuador in 2017 gave Wikileaks founder Julian Assange a diplomatic post in Russia but rescinded it after Britain refused to give him diplomatic immunity, according to an Ecuadorean government document seen by Reuters.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper for the first time has revealed that U.S. intelligence agencies had identified a suspect who served as the “cut-out” for Russian intelligence to funnel thousands of hacked Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails and documents to WikiLeaks.
