News about Chelsea Manning

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was released without probation or supervision after a hearing in a US federal court on the Pacific island of Saipan. The US Justice Department released a lengthy statement detailing Assange's crimes, announcing the guilty plea, and his ban from returning to the country. 'Pursuant to the plea agreement, Assange is prohibited from returning to the United States without permission,' it said. The DoJ detailed how Assange conspired with US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to illegally acquire and disseminate hundreds of thousands of classified US military documents.

The Wikileaks founder was granted bail Monday by the High Court and freed in a deal that involved the US Department of Justice. Assange will appear in a court in Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory on Wednesday where he will plead guilty to a single charge and then be allowed to return to Australia. Assange's wife, Stella, confirmed that her husband's plane landed in the Thai capital around 6:30pm local time. She later added that his private jet will fly into US airspace on the night of June 25.

Between January and May 2010, the US government has accused Assange of planning with army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to leak classified military information online. Assange denies the allegations. If he is extradited to the United States and found guilty, the 52-year-old Australian faces up to 175 years in prison for espionage, which means he will most likely die behind bars. Assange's barrister Edward Fitzgerald KC said his extradition for "purely political offenses" was unlawful and that "the secretary of state should have refused to authorize extradition." According to him, the decision violated Article Four of the 2003 Anglo-US extradition treaty, which, he said, barred extradition on political grounds. Hundreds of protesters marched on London's High Court to honor WikiLeaks' founder. Stella (right), Assange's wife, was one of them.

Charles McGonigal, 55, was sentenced to four years in jail last month for doing work for opulent Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Prosecutors are demanding that he receives another 30 months in prison and a $95,000 fine for hiding $225,000 in cash he received from an Albanian intelligence service. DailyMail.com obtained a sentencing memo that states that the FBI is so worried about McGonigal's deception that his old cases are being scrutinized. Last week hjis former mistress revealed details of their very active sex life

Last month, Charles McGonigal, 55, was sentenced to four years in jail for doing service for obedient Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. Allison Guerriero, a 50-year-old McGonigal mistress, tells DailyMail.com that the former FBI agent was addicted to sex and gave séances bizarre names. 'Charlie was amazing at sex,' Guerriero gushed. He was really driven in that way and needed it three, four, and even five times a day.'

Chelsea Manning, a whistleblower and transgender trailblazer, was blown away at her 'Sale of the Century' function in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood on Sunday. The 48-year-old Oscar nominee clutched a pink jacket beside a rack of clothing from her storage unit, earning a kiss on the cheek of the 35-year-old security consultant.

Journalists seemed to be ahead of the curve in investigating the leak of highly classified Pentagon papers, including publicly announcing the leak and finding the source before the DOJ announced charges. Jack Douglas Teixeira, 21, was arrested by FBI in Massachusetts on Thursday, less than an hour after the New York Times and Bellingcat journalist Aric Toler named him as the suspected leaker. According to court records that were unsealed on Friday morning, the FBI had identified Teixeira as a criminal at least by Wednesday, based on witness statements and billing records from the messenger service Discord.

The daughter of Grimes and Elon Musk's name is now a lot shorter. The musician shared a photo of her daughter on Twitter on 23 March, and when someone commented "omg baby sailor mars hiiii," Grimes replied, "She's Y now, or 'Why' or just '?' (But the government will not be aware of it)." Y is a girl who says, "curiosity, the eternal question, and such," she said. Exa Dark Sider'l Musk's mother was born in 1912 but she was still named Y at the time. This isn't the first time Grimes and Elon have chosen to change one of their children's names. Their first child, a boy, was originally named X X A-12, but they later changed it to X A-Xii, although the child's legal name is X.

The imposing headquarters of The New York Times was built of glass, ostensibly to highlight the fact that the august newspaper has nothing to conceal. However, something happened there last month that the boss would have much preferred to go unnoticed. The sign: 'Dear New York Times: Stop attacking trans people's right to exist and seek medical attention.' The stunt was part of a movement against America's largest newspaper to convince it not to condemn the transgender movement, and in particular, the controversial medical services provided to some children trying to change gender. What makes it so embarrassing for the city's democratic elite and dubbed the Grey Lady for its dour, sober image, is that huge numbers of its own employees and contributors actively support the resistance campaign.

On Thursday, Joe Kahn, the executive editor of The New York Times, wrote to staff in the hopes of settling a dispute over the newspaper's coverage of transgender issues, with staff openly chastising each other. We do not endorse, and will not allow, Times journalists' participation in demonstrations organized by advocacy organizations or attacks on colleagues on social media and other public forums,' he wrote. On Wednesday, the contest began when GLAAD, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, coordinating a public letter sent by celebrities and advocacy organizations protesting the paper's "irresponsible, biased coverage of transgender people." 200 contributors to the paper had signed another letter, which was also sent on Wednesday.

The New York Times has published an op-ed supporting J.K. Rowling's transgender views, a day after two anonymous letters from hundreds of its own employees and celebrities accused the paper of anti-trans 'bias.' Rowling's abuse was 'absurd,' according to a piece by Pamela Paul, an opinion columnist, and Rowling said that 'nothing Rowling has stated qualifiers as transphobic.' Paul writes in an article that was published on Thursday morning, "If more people stood up for J. Rowling, they would not just be doing right by her; they would also be campaigning for human rights, especially women's rights, gay rights, and, yes, transgender rights." They'd also be protesting for the truth.' The essay, which appeared on Thursday, came 24 hours after two open letters were sent to the Times, which criticized the newspaper's coverage of trans issues. The Times released a reaction defending its journalism and its subsequent decision to publish the pro-Rowling piece, meaning that the paper has not been swayed in dissencing a variety of viewpoints in the debate.

The paper's open letter, delivered to the Times on Wednesday, states that it is obtaining "bias, fringe theories, and inaccurate information" in its coverage of transgender people, as well as "the lead of a far-right hate group" in its coverage of transgender issues. Nearly 170 Times contributors, some of whom are transgender, non-binary, and gender-conforming, signed the letter, which included hundreds of professionals in the entertainment industry, as well as leading advocates, activists, and organizations in the LGBTQ community.

Amber McLaughlin buffed her teeth a few times, uttered her final words, and shut her eyes as she was executed on Tuesday, becoming the first transgender woman to be put to death years after she was found guilty of murdering her ex-girlfriend. As the fatal dose of pentobarbital was administered, McLaughlin, 49, spoke quietly with a spiritual advisor at her side. In a final, written, statement, McLaughlin said, 'I am sorry for what I did.' 'I am a loving and caring person.' Beverly Guenther, a former lover of the Missouri defendant, was found guilty of stalking and killing her mother Beverly Guenther before dumping her body near the Mississippi River in St. Louis. A jury was unable to reach a decision, but a judge sentenced McLaughlin to death in 2006.

Charles McGonigal's connections to Deripaska are reportedly at the root of a grand jury subpoena that was released in secrecy in November 2021. If the probe is still underway, it is not clear if it is. Deripaska, a close ally of Vladimir Putin's, was a close friend of Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort and is believed to have played a key role in the Kremlin's attempts to intervene in the presidential election. The Treasury Department has banned him and his company connected to him for "malign conduct" and "attempting to subpoen western democracies, as well as aggressive cyber-attacks.'
