Squad and Marjorie Taylor Greene join 16 lawmakers calling on Biden to free Julian Assange
Fox News
A group of bi-partisan lawmakers have written to President Biden calling for him to drop charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who published classified documents.
The letter calls for Biden to end the U.S. extradition request against Julian Assange so he can face charges. Assange has been held at London's high-security Belmarsh Prison since he was removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in 2019 for breaching bail conditions, and he is contesting U.S. extradition efforts in the British courts. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.

"As Members of Congress deeply committed to the principles of free speech and freedom of the press, we write to strongly encourage your Administration to withdraw the U.S. extradition request currently pending against Australian publisher Julian Assange and halt all prosecutorial proceedings against him as soon as possible," the November 8 letter reads.
