The Justice Department is broadening the scope of its criminal case against the founder of WikiLeaks, unsealing a superseding indictment on Wednesday, which provides greater detail related to the criminal case against Julian Assange.

A press release said the criminal offenses “relate to Assange’s alleged role in one of the largest compromises of classified information in the history of the United States.” The Justice Department noted that “the new indictment does not add additional counts to the prior 18-count superseding indictment returned against Assange in May 2019” but added that the new 49-page court filing “does, however, broaden the scope of the conspiracy surrounding alleged computer intrusions with which Assange was previously charged.” The DOJ filing argues that Assange and his compatriots “recruited and agreed with hackers to commit computer intrusions to benefit WikiLeaks.”
