New but not very revealing.
For now.
A sealed motion has been filed in the #Assange matter in Virginia.
UPDATE: Govt's motion to unseal the criminal complaint against Assange granted, plus affidavit from FBI agent tasked to investigate.
I'll have a story coming up on this soon for @CourthouseNews.
STORY UP: An affidavit published in federal court in Virginia today supports U.S. claims that Assange committed computer fraud and underlines the covert relationship he had with Chelsea Manning. More here:

@CourthouseNews
Though FBI Special Agent Brown calls it still “unknown” whether Assange or Manning ever successfully cracked the password needed to access info, she says follow-up messages from Assange to Manning prove his intent.
“The context of the agreement demonstrates that Assange and Manning intended to crack the password to facilitate Manning’s disclosure of classified information of the United States,” Brown wrote.

There are many fine reporters covering Assange's case out of EDVA, but I offer this friendly reminder - many of those fine reporters are not actually anywhere near the courthouse. I am, though!
While it may be many months or years before Assange actually shows up in the US if extradition is successful, I'll keep you updated on filings at the court and will continue to keep my ear to the ground around Alexandria.
Let me also clarify my earlier tweet, my language is being misinterpreted & it has been brought to my attention. By covert relationship, I meant to imply the communication Assange had with Manning when they were chatting, and that it was, for a time, only known to them.
I regret any confusion by the tweet. I am not implying anything else, just poor wording in this tweet by yours truly. Will be more careful moving forward as it is not my intent to confuse.
