Trump’s comments show a growing bipartisan willingness in the US to let Assange walk free after similar remarks by US President Joe Biden.

Trump was speaking ahead of an address to the Libertarian National Convention, where he did not raise the Assange case in his speech. In April, Biden told reporters at the White House that he was considering Australia’s request to drop the charges against Assange.
