Top DoJ officials told prosecutors over the summer that they could start drafting a complaint against Assange, current and former LEOs said. The charges came to light late Thursday through an unrelated court filing in which prosecutors inadvertently mentioned them.

In conversations with members of his circle and with others he tried to recruit to help him, the GOP operative, Peter W. Smith, implied he was working with retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, at the time a senior adviser to then-candidate Donald Trump.
