The Senate Intelligence Committee Has Asked Julian Assange To Testify, WikiLeaks Says#BdOO

The Senate Intelligence Committee Has Asked Julian Assange To Testify, WikiLeaks Says The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to testify before the panel as part of its Russia investigation, WikiLeaks said Wednesday, posting a letter from the bipartisan committee leadership on Twitter. It says the committee is conducting a bipartisan inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 U. S. elections and asks that Assange make himself available for a closed interview with bipartisan Committee staff at a mutually agreeable time and location. But WikiLeaks has been scrutinized for its role in disseminating emails and documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee and other Democratic officials. Special counsel Robert Mueller, who is running a criminal probe, recently indicted 12 Russian military officers for the hacking. The committee has been investigating Russian election interference since January 2017 and has recently held public hearings on topics such as election security and social media.
