Though the new information makes clear that prosecution is planned if Assange can be delivered to American custody, no further details are available.
Assange is under scrutiny at a minimum for unauthorized possession of classified material going back to at least 2010, when Wikileaks burst onto the international scene with evidence of American war crimes in Iraq and exposed years' worth of classified State Department diplomatic cables.
More recently, Assange has been accused of trying to manipulate the 2016 U.S. presidential election with his release of emails from the Democratic National Committee server.
It's coming to a head now with the government's efforts to nail Julian Assange.
Assange had no national interest in mind, no sincere desire to inform the public.
They'll self-righteously proclaim that Assange going to jail is sad but unfortunately necessary, claiming he just took things too far.
Point between the government's need to protect information, the right to expose information, and the media's right to publish it, an Assange prosecution will create new precedents, weapons for clever future prosecutors.
