Assange: I'll keep my promise to go to the US
Will he or won't he? WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Thursday he would keep his word and come to the US. But the transparency activist has some conditions for the US Department of Justice.
"I look forward to having a conversation with the DOJ about what the correct way forward is," Assange said in a press conference broadcast over Periscope, adding that he wants the Justice Department to either drop any charges against him, or unseal any extradition orders or charges it's keeping confidential.
It's the latest development in a series of statements from Assange about what might prompt him to face a DOJ investigation for the publication of classified government documents. First, Assange offered to travel to the US, then seemed to take it back through his lawyers. Now, he's doubled back again to say his offer still stands.
