The United States has ‘no more national appetite’ to keep Julian Assange in prison

Sky News contributor Kristin Tate discusses the release of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's plea deal with the US. “There is no more national appetite to keep him in prison,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “Trump actually a few months ago said he would strongly consider a pardon if he was elected for a second term, so I think Biden was just trying to beat Trump to the punch. “Politically, this is really a nothing burger because most Americans at this point agree that Assange should be released.”
