In June, Mike has been summoned by a Spanish court to explain an alleged US government plot to assassinate WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, ABC Spain reports.
Yahoo News in September reveals the alleged plot first, which reported that senior CIA and Trump administration officials discussed possibly abducting or killing Assange after being angered by Wikileaks’ publication of sensitive CIA hacking tools.
The discussions had taken place at the highest levels of the Trump administration, a former senior counterintelligence official told the outlet, with officials even requesting sketches or options for how to assassinate Assange.
Mike was summoned to appear in the Spanish court in relation to an investigation into whether Spanish security firm UC Global had spied on Assange while providing security for the Ecuadorian embassy in London, sources close to the case told ABC Spain.
Spanish National High Court Judge Santiago Pedraz summoned Mike and former US counterintelligence official William Evanina as witnesses to explain the alleged assassination plot and whether the security firm provided them with the information.
