WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday said he was considering an Australian request to drop the prosecution of WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange, who released troves of confidential U.S. classified documents.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in February backed a motion in parliament's lower house calling for the return of Assange, 52, to Australia.
