UPDATED: Project Veritas Will Release Tapes Of Assange And Obama DoS
There have been rumors for some time now that President Trump is considering pardoning Julian Assange. It has now been confirmed that Assange has formally requested a pardon. Tomorrow, James O'Keefe will release recordings of conversations between Assange and the Obama Department of State. O'Keefe claims this will shed new light on these matters:

I would welcome a pardon of Assange. Nothing he did is as wrong as what Deep State actors have done without consequences.
UPDATE 1: Here's the recording. It appears to show that Assange's relationship with the US Government was more complex than previously known. For example, Assange appears to demonstrate a concern for the safety of individuals who figure in released communications, as well as willingness to assist the US Government in locating official documents held by less scrupulous persons:
