President Trump said Tuesday that he doesn’t “know anything” about WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who is reportedly facing a secret criminal case filed by the Trump administration.

“I don’t know anything about him, really,” Trump said on the south lawn of the White House after being asked if Assange should go free and if the Justice Department should drop its case. “I don’t know much about him. I really don’t”
