Assange lawyer says she saw Trump ally offer to arrange pardon

LONDON: A lawyer for Julian Assange told a London court on Friday that she was present when an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump offered to arrange a pardon for the WikiLeaks founder in return for information that would"benefit President Trump politically".

"They stated that President Trump was aware of and had approved of them coming to meet with Mr Assange to discuss a proposal – and that they would have an audience with the President to discuss the matter on their return to Washington DC," she said. Robinson said Rohrabacher's offer was presented to Assange as a"win-win" solution that would allow Assange"to get on with his life" and in return would also politically benefit Trump.
