US Senate Intelligence Committee

Julian Assange has been asked to testify before the US Senate Intelligence Committee as part of their Russia investigation, according to a letter posted by the official WikiLeaks Twitter account. The letter, delivered to Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, reads in part: “As part of the inquiry, the Committee requests that you make yourself available for a closed interview with bipartisan Committee staff at a mutually agreeable time and location.”
