During a press briefing, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller was questioned about the outcome of the Julian Assange case, now that he is free in Australia.
Miller declined to comment on the specifics of the case, citing the independent Justice Department's handling of the matter. However, he emphasized the danger that Assange's actions posed to innocent people, including partners, allies, and diplomats, particularly in dangerous places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
Miller acknowledged that the State Department had worked to mitigate harm by getting people out of harm's way, but maintained that Assange's actions were reckless and put lives at risk.
When pressed for evidence of specific harm or victims, Miller reiterated that the department's efforts had prevented harm, but did not provide concrete examples.
