NOT GONNA DO IT

Chelsea Manning to Fight WikiLeaks Grand-Jury Subpoena

The former U.S. Army intelligence officer said her lawyers will file a motion to block the court order.

Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. Army Intelligence officer convicted in 2013 of passing secret documents to Julian Assange, told The New York Times she would fight a subpoena to testify in a grand jury against the WikiLeaks founder. The subpoena follows the inadvertent disclosure of a secret filing by the Department of Justice against Assange after he was named in an unrelated sex-crime case. Manning said she has not been told specifically what she was being called to testify about but that her legal team would file a motion on Friday morning to quash it. “Given what is going on, I am opposing this,” she told the Times. “I want to be very forthright I have been subpoenaed. I don’t know the parameters of the subpoena apart from that I am expected to appear. I don’t know what I’m going to be asked.”
