WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is expected to plead guilty to a felony charge as part of a plea deal with the US Justice Department, potentially ending his five-year imprisonment in the UK. The deal, which revolves around Assange's involvement in the publication of classified documents alongside Chelsea Manning, could see him walking free and returning to his home country, Australia. Court documents filed indicate that this plea is a significant development in Assange's long-standing legal battle with the US, where he has been fighting extradition on charges of espionage. The agreement is seen as a preliminary step before the official plea submission, with sentencing anticipated to occur immediately afterward. This development marks a pivotal moment in the case, offering Assange a path out of prison after years of legal and diplomatic wrangling.
