US Anchor blasts Trump DOJ Assange charges: Risks press freedom

Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested in London and faces extradition to the United States in response to a new indictment by the Trump Justice Department. In a special report, Ari Melber examines the controversial nature of Assange’s arrest by the current administration noting that the indictment against Assange does not show him stealing anything, coordinating with spies or doing espionage.
