WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out Monday whether he can be extradited from the UK to the US. Should the extradition be approved, Assange would face espionage charges over the publication of secret American military documents.

She's appealed to President Trump via Twitter to grant a pardon to Assange before he leaves office.

Despite pleading guilty in 2018 to lying to the FBI and conspiracy against the US, he now says the charges were illegitimate and amounted to political persecution.
