WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has agreed to enter a plea deal with the Biden administration that would allow him to avoid prison in the United States, according to newly filed federal court documents.
While the deal still has to be approved by a federal judge, under the new terms, the Justice Department will seek a 62-month sentence, which is equal to the amount of time Assange has already served in prison in London while fighting his extradition to the US.
The deal would then credit that time served allowing Assange to immediately return to Australia.
