STORYLINE:
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been sentenced to time already served in Britain as part of a plea with the U.S. Justice Department that secures his freedom.

The plea was entered Wednesday morning in federal court in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. commonwealth in the Pacific.

The deal resolves a criminal case involving the receipt and publication of war logs and diplomatic cables that detailed U.S. military wrongdoing in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The sentence was imposed by U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona, an appointee of President Barack Obama. She pronounced him "a free man."
