"Biden Considers Dropping Charges Against Julian Assange, Wife Finds Hope"

The wife of Julian Assange expressed optimism after President Joe Biden indicated that the U.S. may drop charges against the WikiLeaks founder, potentially allowing him to return to Australia. Assange, currently imprisoned in London, faces 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over the publication of classified U.S. documents. Supporters rallied for his release on the fifth anniversary of his incarceration, while Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called for an end to Assange's ordeal. Assange's health continues to deteriorate in prison, and a further court hearing in his case is scheduled for May 20.
