发帖数: 2018 | 1 WASHINGTON—A U.S. congressman contacted the White House this week trying to
broker a deal that would end WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s U.S. legal
troubles in exchange for what he described as evidence that Russia wasn’t
the source of hacked emails published by the antisecrecy website during the
2016 presidential campaign.
The proposal made by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R., Calif.), in a phone call
Wednesday with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, was apparently aimed
at resolving the probe of WikiLeaks prompted by Mr. Assange’s publication
of secret U.S. government documents in 2010 through a pardon or other act of
clemency from President Donald Trump.
The possible “deal”—a term used by Mr. Rohrabacher during the Wednesday
phone call—would involve a pardon of Mr. Assange or “something like that,
” Mr. Rohrabacher said. In exchange, Mr. Assange would probably present a
computer drive or other data-storage device that Mr. Rohrabacher said would
exonerate Russia in the long-running controversy about who was the source of
hacked and stolen material aimed at embarrassing the Democratic Party
during the 2016 election. | T**********e
