Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and House Rules Committee ranking member Jim McGovern (D-MA) wrote to President Joe Biden this month to request that he pardon WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In their letter, which was posted by WikiLeaks on Wednesday, Massie and McGovern opened, “We write, first, to express our appreciation for your administration’s decision last spring to facilitate a resolution of the criminal case against publisher Julian Assange and to withdraw the related extradition request that had been pending in the United Kingdom.”
