The political consultant Paul Manafort, a former campaign manager of the president of the united States, Donald Trump, held secret meetings with the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, at the embassy of Ecuador in London, said Tuesday the newspaper ‘The Guardian’.
Sources consulted by the british newspaper claim that Manafort traveled to the british capital to see Assange in 2013, 2015 and 2016, a period which became one of the key figures of the race of Trump to the White House.

Although the latter case was filed, Assange has continued to be detained at the legation, for fear that their output causes an extradition request from the USA, and his immediate detention.
