Ocasio-Cortez, Greene among lawmakers urging Biden to drop Assange extradition, prosecution

  • A bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, have called on President Biden to drop the extradition and prosecution of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks.
  • Assange, an Australian publisher, was arrested in 2019 in the U.K. on a U.S. warrant and has been fighting extradition to the U.S. The group of lawmakers argues that the charges against him pose a threat to free speech and freedom of the press.
  • This unity between far-left and far-right lawmakers is notable, as they have previously clashed with each other. Despite their differences, they are joining forces to advocate for Assange's case, amidst ongoing debates about press freedom.
