On Tuesday, The Guardian published a “bombshell” report alleging that former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort held “secret talks” at the Ecuadorian embassy with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, including one alleged meeting that took place around the time Manafort joined the Trump campaign in 2016. The report was based on unnamed sources and the outlet noted that the embassy has no record of Manafort’s alleged 2016 visit.
WikiLeaks has since responded to the report by declaring its publication as the moment The Guardian let a “serial fabricator” “totally destroy” the paper’s credibility. WikiLeaks is so confident of its claim, that it announced it’s willing to put its money — and Assange’s life — on the table.
