WASHINGTON-President Joe Biden said Wednesday the United States was "considering" a request by Australia to drop the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on espionage charges.
Australia's parliament passed a motion in February with the prime minister's support calling for an end to the legal saga surrounding Assange, who is currently held in Britain while fighting extradition to the United States.
"We're considering it," Biden replied at the White House when asked by a reporter if he had a response to Australia's request.

Assange's lawyer described the comments as "encouraging". The 52-year-old faces prosecution in the US over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.
