WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may be extradited to the U.S. from an Ecuadoran embassy in London in what could become a major victory for special counsel Robert Mueller.
Assange said Monday that Ecuador could soon end his six-year asylum, Reuters reports.
Assange, known for releasing sensitive documents through WikiLeaks, could be a big witness in Mueller’s investigation of the Trump campaign and Russia’s interference during the 2016 presidential election.
Mueller has struck plea deals with others tied to Trump in exchange for cooperating with prosecutors.
Assange likely knows more than anyone whether the Trump campaign was involved with leaking hacked emails that hurt Hillary Clinton during the election.
Longtime Trump supporter Roger Stone originally claimed he was in contact with Assange, but he has since walked back those statements.
