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.

The man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer has been found guilty of aggravated kidnapping by a state court. This new conviction could result in additional prison time for the attacker, potentially leading to a life sentence. Previously, the attacker had already been sentenced to 30 years in federal court for the assault on Pelosi's husband. The brutal attack, which involved the use of a hammer, left Pelosi's husband injured and in need of medical attention. With this latest conviction for aggravated kidnapping, the attacker may face even more severe consequences for his actions. The state court's decision to convict him on this charge underscores the seriousness of his crimes and the potential danger he poses to society. Overall, the attacker's actions have had far-reaching consequences, not only for his victims but also for his own future. The additional prison time he may now face serves as a stark reminder of the severe penalties that can result from violent and criminal behavior.
