Testimony given in the last week of the Assange hearing was particularly damning for the White House, as evidence was aired that connected the Administration directly to the efforts to prosecute Assange.

Judge Baraitser has entered the court and the first witness, Professor Paul Rogers, is being sworn in. He is a prof of Peace Studies at Bradford University and a widely published writer.
Prof Rogers specialises int. politics and int. security. He will talk abt #Assange's political views, which he says place him as a political opponent of his accusers.
Two new documentaries on the Jeffery #Epstein affair delve into lurid details and give voice to his victims, but both scratch the surface of the political and intelligence dimensions of the scandal.

Investigation Discovery premiered a three-hour special, “#WhoKilledJeffreyEpstein?” on May 31, the first segment in a three-part series, that focused on Epstein’s August 2019 death in federal custody. The special followed @netflix release of "#JeffreyEpsteinfilthyrich."
Neither documentary however deals at all with Epstein’s suspected ties to the world of intelligence.
