"Biden Considers Australia's Request to End Julian Assange's Prosecution"

President Biden stated that the US is "considering" Australia's request to end the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse. Assange, currently in a UK prison, has been fighting US extradition efforts for over a decade. The Justice Department declined to comment on Biden's remarks, and the High Court in London recently granted Assange a temporary reprieve from extradition to the US on espionage charges.
