Reporter hadas gold. >> reporter: this is a fascinating story not only because of who it involves, but how it came to happen. the filing were made in august, but unsealed last week. it seemingly inadvertently a spokesperson told cnn and mentioned assange by name. authorities had been looking into assange and trying to charge him since 2010 after the first diplomatic cable dumps on wick he leaks -- wikileaks. he has been hiding in the embassy since 2012. he has been granted to live there for last...
