The New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, and El País are among the media outlets that have called on the US to drop its charges against Julian Assange. They say that the prosecution of Julian Assange under the Espionage Act "sets a dangerous precedent." Assange is accused of obtaining and disseminating sensitive diplomatic and military information. No request is made in the letter for the Justice Department to drop that element of the case. Merrick B. Garland, the attorney general, has been attempting to curtail Justice Department procedures that make it more difficult for journalists to perform their duties.
