Julian Assange, Who Twice Upended Politics, Accepts Plea Deal

Julian Assange, Who Twice Upended Politics, Accepts Plea Deal

Julian Assange, who has long been imprisoned in the United Kingdom, has agreed to plead guilty to a U.S. felony and will return to his native Australia. His WikiLeaks organization's 2010 publication of military secrets helped to reshape public understanding of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The group later released private Democratic National Committee emails that the U.S. government says were obtained via a Russian cyberattack, as part of that government's effort to tilt the 2016 election to Donald Trump.

This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and White House correspondent Asma Khalid.
