Julian assange not going down without a fight, a legal battle is expected over his extradition to the United States. Jillian the doj accuses him of working with Chelsea Manning unclassified information. Rob washingtons reaction. Reporter opinions run the gamut, some applauding his request, others worried about journalists. The president trying to stay out of it. I know nothing about wikileaks. There is something having to do with Julian Assange, seeing what happened with assange, that will be a determination, the attorney general. Heather during the 2016 campaign the president said he loved wikileaks but then in 2017 he said he would not be involved in the decision to arrest assange and doesnt appear he was. Julian assange is facing conspiracy to commit computer intrusion charges that is allegedly for helping Chelsea Manning trying to crack a password to a classified pentagon computer in 2010. They failed to do that. There are lawmakers expressing concern about the arrest. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is worried about the journalism aspect of this, opening the door to punishing journalists who helped get and publish classified information . What is interesting here, the charge is not related to the leaked Clinton Emails but Hillary Clinton among the loudest demanding Julian Assange pays for what he has done. He has to answer for that. The wheels of justice are finally turning. Im glad he is in custody. Heather no ones opinion will matter to the judges job it is to decide whether or not Julian Assange should be extradited to the us. That hearing happens may 2nd. Jillian years in the making. Rob a former Obama White House counsel in court today, greg craig is accused of lying and hiding information about his lobbying work in ukraine during the russia probe. The charges unjustified, 4 million in a settlement for his work with ukraine, Gregory Craig faces up to 5 years in prison. Jillian devon nunez is naming names, the Top Republican on the House Intel Committee sending criminal referrals in the russia probe. Based on lying, obstruction, congressional investigation, obliques referral, conspiracy referrals, the manipulation of intelligence. The second one based on fisa abuse and other matters. Jillian bill barr notified in a letter the names could remain secret to the public. Rob democrats were not happy to hear bill barr tell lawmakers Donald Trumps campaign was spied on. Jillian tray county says democrats are upset because bar is turning the tables. Nancy pelosi said that bar was off the rails. If anyone in the country would understand being off the rails it would be speaker nancy pelosi. This was voice voted was the senate. Democrats loved him. They thought he was an institutionalist, he was going to revive the department of justice. What they dont like is what he summarized in the Mueller Report. No collusion and we decided there is no obstruction of justice and now hes going to Say Something as crazy as we are going to look at the origins of this investigation to make sure the law was followed. That is what they are upset about. Bill barr is being more forthcoming than he should be. I dont think the department of justice should publish derogatory information on someone who has not been charged. Adam schiff and others talk about beyond reasonable doubt that is what you have to have to convict. They dont have evidence enough to charge which is probable cause. Rob a redacted version of the Mueller Report could be released as early as today. Jillian the us officially cuts off aid to three Central American countries, the move comes as mike pence visits the border reaffirming his support for agents on the front line. Rob Griff Jenkins live as hundreds of migrants close to the country, another caravan. Reporter mike pence toward the southern border on a second trip to arizona calling for lawmakers in washington to get serious about addressing this crisis. Congress knows what needs to be done, democrats step of people who can do it and it begins by recognizing a crisis on the southern border. Reporter the restocks possible alone make progress . Nancy pelosi may be signaling a crack in the opposition to working with the administration. It is complicated but not hard to do. I am not giving up on the president on this. Any talks have to start with acknowledging and identifying the real problems placing the blame squarely on the president s corner. I have said consistently that there is a humanitarian crisis at the border but one that was caused by donald trump and his administration with their failed policies. We can find a bipartisan solution to this. Reporter the push fraction comes after 92,000 apprehensions at the border last month most of which were Central American families and unaccompanied children. Secretary of state mike pompeo confirms the administration cut aid to honduras, guatemala and el salvador. Another caravan making its way north. The key thing to watch for is how mexico handles them when they get to the southern border with guatemala. Will they try to stop them or allow them to cross in. And given these one year temporary work visas . That will tell us a lot about whether we will see more swelling on the southern border. Jillian thank you very much.

Rob this all happening just days before the Mueller Report is released. Is there a connection here . Or is it simply a coincidence . Jillian joining us to weigh in is gail trotter. Thank you for your time. We appreciate it. What do you make of the timing of this . Reporter everyone knows Julian Assange is a polarizing figure. People have paid attention to his asylum case in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london for a long time. This is such a Big Development coming on the heels of the release of the summary of the Mueller Report. There has been a lot of speculation about whether these two cases are related but i think this indictment if you read the indictment it underscores the case that anyone charged as part of the mueller investigation, no one has anything whatsoever to do with russian collusion and this is another example with his indictment of Julian Assange that shows the storm related to the Mueller Report has nothing to do with this case either as far as we know. Rob being pulled out of the embassy. Look at the breakdown of charges against Julian Assange, this conspiracy charge, intrusion the charges related to the release of classified us military secrets that were provided by Chelsea Manning, a 5year prison sentence to be fine and he is not being charged for his role in hacking the dnc and emails involving Hillary Clinton which a lot of people think is the election of donald trump. There are interesting legal issues. Assange made a name for himself publishing leaked material which is not that different from the Washington Post and New York Times on many occasions, what is different under the allegations of the indictment is he conspired with Chelsea Manning formerly known as private Bradley Manning to hack into defense computer systems. It is an ongoing controversial issue whether it is journalism or crime. Heather everyone asking that question. Lets talk about the timing of this. What do you think if he is to be extradited to the United States how long are we talking about . Extradition from the uk takes a long time. Assange is facing bipartisan heat. We saw the House Foreign Affairs committee in the fall right a letter to the ecuadorian president being the catalyst for why you are seeing the extradition process starting. This is not something that will be resolved anytime soon. Even just the extradition part of it. Heather the other strange story was an indictment by the Mueller Probe of a democrat, greg craig worked in the Obama Administration and has bizarre ties to Paul Manafort of all people. Break this down for us. There a two striking things about this indictment against Gregory Craig. You are seeing a lot of news outlets reporting the craig was an obama aide but a senior official in the prior administration, the white houses top lawyer from 20092010 under the Obama Administration. The other striking thing is mueller had things that were committed by Gregory Craig that are similarly wrapped up in the allegations that mueller actually prosecuted other people for including Paul Manafort. It is the same transaction, the ukrainian representation by Paul Manafort that Gregory Craig is being charged with these are serious allegations of false and misleading statement against federal regulators and mueller epstein. It makes you wonder why mueller epstein chose not to prosecute a former top lawyer under the Obama Administration and prosecuted so many of Donald Trumps associations and underscores this has nothing to do with russian collusion. Rob 18 after the hour, 36 more charges, this is a lot of hot water for Michael Avenatti.

Heather the feds dropping 36 charges against Michael Avenatti, the attorney accused of ripping off a mentally ill paraplegic client among many other things. Jillian avenatti faces 330 years behind bars. Reporter is accused of dodging taxes, lying under oath and stealing millions of dollars in settlement money from his client. Celebrity Attorney Michael Avenatti is facing 300 years in federal prison after being indicted on 36 charges. Money generated from one set of crimes was used to further other crimes. Typically in the form of payments designed to string along victims so as to prevent mister avenattis financial house of cards from collapsing. Reporter and with such case avenatti withheld 4 billion settlement from a mentally a paraplegic man for years. When they found documents for disability, avenatti allegedly ignored sending the settlement information to the Social Security administration knowing the embezzlement. In another case, authority say avenatti received millions an assortment for clients but the next day, authorities have seen it. In addition to dealing with clients, they accuse him of perjury and submitting bogus documents is not paying taxes for years. Special agents use their talents to uncover a financial web of lies. Reporter avenatti fired back on twitter writing i intend to fight all charges in police not guilty. I look forward to the entire truth being told as opposed to 1sided version meant aside by me. Avenatti will be invited april 29th, and their separate charges in new york, and in los angeles, jeff paul. Jillian these are the latest which took off when he represented Stormy Daniels making him a liberal and cable news hero. Rob if he is convicted on even a fraction of these charges he can expect to do serious time. A 36 page indictment. If the feds can prove a fraction of this, avenatti better throw away the armani suit and get used to jumpsuit. The feds say he was essentially the Bernie Madoff of lawyers running a ponzi scheme stealing from one client to play another, to play his creditors, lavish lifestyle and the pyramid eventually just came crashing around him and the behavior in his victims, this is unconscionable for a lawyer and also, if proven, cr
