Assange was arrested Thursday after the Ecuadorian Embassy in London said he was no longer welcome. But what happened to the self-proclaimed master of "counter-purrveillance?"
This question has been a source of debate since the group published hundreds of thousands of U.S. military documents and diplomatic cables in 2010, many related to U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One minute, Seamus Hughes was reading the book Dragons Love Tacos to his son. The next minute, he stumbled on what could be one of the most closely guarded secrets within the U.S. government.
The document, part of an unrelated case, notes it's important "to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged." The Justice Department says the WikiLeaks founder's name was used in error.
The founder of WikiLeaks received a request to testify in person before the Senate intelligence committee about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, his lawyer says.
Self-described "dirty trickster" Roger Stone says that he is ready for an indictment but that congressional and Justice Department investigators won't find any wrongdoing.
Stone said he could be under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for alleged crimes unrelated to his role in the 2016 presidential election.
The government of Ecuador said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who has been living inside its London embassy, was jeopardizing its relationships with other countries in his social media posts.
Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, originally sought refuge in an Ecuadorian embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden. That case against him has been dropped, but he continues to stay there.
The WikiLeaks founder has been at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition. Swedish prosecutors halted the probe, but London police quickly said they'd still enforce their arrest warrant.
