US State Department: Very limited involvement in Assange case

A U.S. State Department spokesman said the State Department's involvement in the Assange case was very limited and that the Assange case was a law enforcement matter handled through law enforcement channels. Earlier, according to newly filed federal court documents, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge involving his alleged involvement in one of the largest leaks of confidential documents by the U.S. government as part of an agreement with the Justice Department that will allow him to avoid serving a prison sentence in the United States.
