Tlaib leads push to drop Assange charges in Congress.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is circulating a letter among House members, urging them to sign it and call on the Justice Department to end its prosecution of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who is accused of publishing classified documents. Tlaib argues that the prosecution of Assange under the Espionage Act seriously undermines freedom of the press and the First Amendment. If extradited to the US, Assange could face up to 175 years in prison. The letter comes just ahead of the fourth anniversary of Assange's detention.
