According to her, in 2017, she was invited to a meeting at the embassy with Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher and political activist and Trump supporter Charles Johnson.
"They wanted us to believe that they are acting on behalf of the president," RIA Novosti quoted Robinson as saying.
She said that the Americans offered Assange to provide information about the sources that gave him the correspondence regarding the national committee, published by WikiLeaks in 2016.
Rohrabacher explained this with a desire to deal with the statements about the alleged Russian trace in this story and noted that this could lead to the release of Assange and Washington's refusal to seek his extradition.
As the agency recalls, in February 2020, the White House denied The Guardian's information that Trump offered Assange a pardon.
Earlier, the deputy chairman of the Left faction in the Bundestag, Heike Hansel, called for an end to the process of Assange's extradition from Great Britain to the United States.
