According to Al-Adili, the US State Department spokesman stated that the department’s involvement in the Assange case is very limited, and the case is being dealt with through legal channels.

Earlier, it was reported that Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, agreed to plead guilty to a serious charge related to his alleged involvement in one of the largest leaks of classified documents from the US government. This is part of an agreement reached with the Department of Justice, which will allow him to avoid serving time in the United States.

The State Department stressed that their role in the Assange case is minimal, noting that the case is primarily a law enforcement matter. The agreement with the Ministry of Justice will likely spare Assange a prison sentence in the United States.
