Rumors are flying across social media that President Donald Trump will be pardoning WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

However, Gateway Pundit spoke to people involved with WikiLeaks who had not heard any news on that front. Additionally, sources close to the administration have said that while there has been talk of it, they have not heard of anything being confirmed.
National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden weighed in on the news saying that “I very much hope this is true. The case against Assange is based on a legal theory that would criminalize the work of every journalist, both at home and abroad.”
