By now, I'm sure you've heard the good news that Julian Assange is free.
Julian has taken a plea deal that includes "time served", which means he won't have to spend any more time in prison. After a Court hearing in the USA, he can go back home to his wife and two young children.
Stella Assange and Gabriel Shipton have worked on this for many years with Julian's legal team. So has Julian's father. Thomas Massie has wielded incredible influence lately with his House Resolution, and with the support of MTG and The Squad. Australia's PM also applied pressure, as did several other Australian government officials.
I'm proud to say the Libertarian Party played a small, but important role, too. While the Biden admin is not communicating with us directly like the Trump team is, they are watching us closely and trying to outmaneuver Trump's overtures to us. They have reached out to people I know and inquired about Ross, for example. Their move to free Assange was partly motivated by their desire to win the election, and our support. That's huge news for our party and our movement.
Major thanks to Tim Pool, who asked Trump about freeing Julian Assange at our national convention. That was also a significant catalyst to this event.
We have the power to free political prisoners and save people's lives. I will continue to lean fully into that and to maximize its potential.
Thank you for supporting the work that I do and for continuing to support the Libertarian Party. We are in a great place right now.
