Julian Assange Arrives in Saipan for Court Hearing and Expected Guilty Plea Deal

Julian Assange has arrived in Saipan for a court hearing where he is expected to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal with the US justice department. The WikiLeaks founder's plane landed more than two hours before the scheduled start of the plea hearing. Assange is anticipated to admit to a felony related to publishing US military secrets, but the deal will allow him to return to his home country of Australia without facing prison time in America. This comes after years of legal battles, including time spent in jail in the UK while fighting extradition to the US.
