I follow Julian Assange on Twitter, and he tweeted twice today! He should still be in the Equador Embassy in UK? I had not heard he moved. He is alive and well.
Assange took Asylum in EE, because of false rape allegations in Sweden, which have been unfounded and dropped now. He is awaiting another place to go.... Obama/USA has warrant for his arrest, so if he leaves without cover elsewhere, that could be an issue, as of last few news broadcasts.
Assange should be pardoned by US/President, as he published Seth Rich copies of Hillary/Podesta and others e mails. That helped Trump, although he did not ask for help. Only that if Russia had them to show them...(it was a joke).
Julian Assange has never been a spy. WikiLeaks publishes WHISTLEBLOWER information from governments, etc; after verifying their authenticity.
Snowden is NSA Whistleblower, who has asylum in Russia.
