Breaking #Assange Defence counsel says a Republican congressman visited Assange and offered him a full pardon in exchange for "personal services," on behalf of Donald #Trump
Congressman named in court as Dana Rohrabacher.
The congressman said he was worried that accusations of interference in the 2016 election were harming US/Russia relations, wanted #Assange to say Russia was not involved.
Defence says this was political extortion, threatening #Assange with years in prison if he would not do #Trump a political favour.

Assange lawyer alleges Rohrabacher was sent with a pardon-dangle quid pro quo message
The statment given by Assange’s attorney “alleges former US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher visited Assange, saying he was there on behalf of the President, offering a pardon if JA would say Russia had nothing to do with DNC leaks.”

🔥🔥🔥🔥
If this allegation is proven to be true with tangible evidence, Trump absolutely MUST be impeached again, as he sought to use his pardon power to undermine U.S. intelligence agencies.

U.S. President Donald Trump & I agree that #Iran must never have a nuclear weapon & should not endanger MidEast stability.
I believe in the next several weeks we can arrange a meeting between Trump & Rouhani. However, I am cautious.

Trump said we would need much further reaching agreement with far more surveillance in a possible new nuclear deal.
We have an initiative. There's also a Japanese initiative. I think we are making progress on #Iran.

U.S. President Donald Trump:
#Iran is not the same country when I came into office. They were involved in 18 conflict zones. Much of the funds provided in the ridiculous 2015 nuclear deal.
We're looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic weapons & a long period.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.
