Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.

Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.

??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn’t seem to want to charge him.

Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.

Could you show what specifically was fake?
