Fox News
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's possible final legal challenge to block his extradition from Britain to the U.S. will be held in February 2024 at the High Court in London.
Assange, 52, is facing 17 charges for allegedly receiving, possessing and communicating classified information to the public under the Espionage Act, and one charge alleging a conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.
If he is extradited to the U.S. after exhausting all his legal appeals, Assange would face trial in Alexandria, Virginia, and could be sentenced to up to 175 years in an American maximum-security prison.
