Assange Has Been Charged, U.S. Prosecutors Reveal Inadvertently in Filing

Apparently they made a copy-paste error in a completely separate case which inappropriately inserted Assange’s name into public court records.

Wow. Talk about dumbass moves.

(Assange was supposed to be charged secretly, I guess.)

“It’s unclear what Assange, who’s been living in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012, has been charged with. The existence of the charges was revealed in an August filing unsealed this month and confirmed Friday by a person familiar with the matter. The document begins with arguments related to the correct case, then picks up abruptly on the second page, saying ‘no other procedure is likely to keep confidential the fact that Assange has been charged.’”
