Associates of Donald Trump told Julian Assange the US president would pardon the WikiLeaks founder if he revealed the source for the hacking of the Democratic National Committee emails in the run-up to the US presidential election in 2016, a court heard.

At the time Mr Trump and his campaign team were being investigated by, US special counsel, for their possible involvement in Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Mr Rohrabacher told them he was meeting with Mr Assange to talk about “what might be necessary to get him out” and presented what he called a “win-win” solution that “could allow Mr Assange to leave the embassy and ‘get on with his life’ without fear of a US indictment and extradition request”, Ms Robinson testified.
