Julian Assange, the controversial founder of WikiLeaks, has made a surprising appearance in the far-flung US city of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. He is set to plead guilty to a federal felony count in the local courthouse before heading back to his home country of Australia.
After spending time in a high-security British prison and seeking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition, Assange is finally facing the consequences of his actions. Despite his previous legal troubles, he will not be serving any additional time behind bars thanks to credit received for his previous incarceration.
Arriving in Saipan via a private jet, Assange’s presence on the remote island has caused quite a stir. He went to great lengths to avoid landing on US soil, making a pit stop in Bangkok to refuel before continuing his journey.
As the story unfolds, the world watches to see what will come of Assange’s guilty plea and if this will mark the end of his tumultuous legal battles. Stay tuned to the latest updates on this developing story from The New York Post.
