Wikileaks Says Assange Should Head Cyber Security Unit

WIKILEAKS JUST SUGGESTED JULIAN ASSANGE SHOULD RUN TRUMP'S U.S.-RUSSIA CYBER SECURITY UNIT

BY HARRIET SINCLAIR ON 7/9/17 AT 2:04 PM

Wikileaks has suggested its founder Julian Assange should head up the proposed U.S.-Russian unit on cyber security.

Responding to a tweet from President Donald Trump, which suggested he had discussed the formation of an “impenetrable cyber security unit” with Russian president Vladimir Putin on Friday, Wikileaks said Assange would be a good fit.

“Why not put ‪@JulianAssange in charge of it? He's trusted by the public and has the CIA's best stuff anyway,” the Wikileaks tweet said. The organization also linked to a press release from March, in which it detailed a number of leaks linked to the CIA.

Trump’s announcement that he discussed the formation of a cyber security unit with Putin was met with criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike, given Russia’s alleged involvement in the U.S. election.
