Defendants Assange and WikiLeaks are allegedly involved in the email spill at the Democratic camp at the end of the 2016 U.S. presidential election and have significantly changed the course of the presidential election. Defendant Assange has been in exile at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, England after being charged with the United States, but was arrested by British police in April 2019.

Dana Laurabacker, then a Republican congressman, visited the Ecuadorian embassy in London to meet defendant Assange. He told Trump that he would give amnesty if he testified that Russia was not involved in the mail leakage problem on the Democratic side.

During the 2016 U.S. presidential election, President Trump often praised WikiLeaks, who published some of the Democratic side's email content. This was to defeat Presidential competitor Hillary Clinton, who even commented, 'Boy, I love watching WikiLeaks.'
