President Donald Trump is now considering pardoning the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for disclosing the source of the hacked DNC emails according to tot reports.

Republican California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher met with Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul in order to discuss leveraging Paul’s close relationship with Donald Trump in order to indicate to the president that Julian Assange is willing to put ‘Russian hacking election’ rumor to bed by disclosing the leaked emails real source. “Rand Paul says the president calls him every now and then. I wanted to make sure that when [Trump] calls him that [Paul] knew enough about the Julian Assange offer that I found something of value for the president to look at,” Rohrabacher told TheDC. According to the Dailycaller.com, He added that Paul was “very open to the idea of mentioning it to the president next time the president called him.”

Sen. Paul’s office declined to comment. Rohrabacher said that Paul was joined by a few of his staffers, and that the California congressman brought along top aide Paul Behrends and conservative journalist Charles C. Johnson. Rohrabacher met with Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in London in August in a meeting that Johnson claimed to have arranged. Assange took asylum in the embassy in 2012 after facing sexual assault charges in Sweden that have since been dropped. The California congressman told TheDC that Assange wants to leave the embassy and would need a deal with the U.S. in order to do so.
