Odaily Planet Daily News: Several court documents filed on the 24th local time show that Julian Assange, the founder of the "WikiLeaks" website, will reach an agreement with the US Department of Justice to plead guilty to a felony charge, which will save him from jail. According to reports, the US Department of Justice stated in a letter submitted to the court that Assange is scheduled to appear in the federal court of the Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific Federal District of the United States to plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to illegally obtain and disseminate confidential national defense information under the Espionage Act. It is reported that Assange is expected to return to Australia after pleading guilty and sentencing. The sentencing is scheduled to be held on the morning of the 26th in Saipan, Mariana Islands. Because Assange objects to going to the mainland of the United States and the court is closer to Australia, the hearing was chosen to be held in Saipan. The report pointed out that the agreement ensures that Assange pleads guilty while exempting him from any additional imprisonment. Assange's American lawyer Barry Pollack has not immediately responded to a request for comment. The "WikiLeaks" website disclosed on social media on the 24th that Assange had been released from a British prison and flew to Australia. (Associated Press)
