All the times Trump has praised WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as U.S. seeks extradition
President Donald Trump has repeatedly praised WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who faces extradition to the United States after he was arrested in London following the withdrawal of his asylum status at the Ecuadorian embassy.
"@FoxNews: Julian Assange on U.S. media coverage: ‘It’s very dishonest.’ #Hannity ‘More dishonest than anyone knows [sic],” the tweet said. WikiLeaks, which was founded and directed by Assange, was behind the publication of thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton, her campaign staffers and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 election.
During an October 10 campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Trump referenced a recent WikiLeaks publication, saying:"WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks." Then on October 16, Trump shared a link to an article alleging that former President Barack Obama was involved in Clinton’s infamous use of a private server for classified emails. “We've all wondered how Hillary avoided prosecution for her email scheme. Wikileaks may have found the answer,” he wrote.
“WikiLeaks Drip-Drop Releases Prove One Thing: There's No Nov. 8 Deadline on Clinton's Dishonesty and Scandals,” Trump tweeted out on October 27, sharing a link to a Fox Nation video. Then on November 1, he shared another Washington Times article with the caption: “WikiLeaks emails reveal Podesta urging Clinton camp to 'dump' emails. Time to #DrainTheSwamp!”"Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks,” he said a few days later in Ohio.
