According to BlockBeats, on June 27, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said that the State Department's involvement in the Assange case was very limited and that the case was a law enforcement matter handled through law enforcement channels. Earlier on June 25, according to newly filed federal court documents, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge involving his alleged involvement in one of the largest leaks of confidential documents by the U.S. government as part of an agreement with the Department of Justice, which would allow him to avoid serving a sentence in the United States.
