In January 2017 Assange's legal team approached [[Adam Waldman]] to see if the new [[Trump administration]] would negotiate with the WikiLeaks founder, holed up in Ecuador's London embassy. Waldman met three times with Assange during January and February 2017 in London. The hope was that Waldman, a former Clinton Justice Department official, might navigate the U.S. law enforcement bureaucracy and find the right person to engage.

Waldman contacted Associate Deputy Attorney General [[Bruce Ohr]] on behalf of Assange. They met in [[Washington DC]] on February 3, 3017.

===Russian involvement===
Russian oligarch [[Oleg Deripaska]], reported to be one of the sources in the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' and who provided some funding along with the FBI, the DNC, and Clinton campaign, visited Assange nine times over 2017. Deripaska is said to have provided the notorious 'pee-pee' allegations. Derioadka was anxious to cover up his role after Trump's election Waldman is Deripaska's DC attorney.
A year later Deputy Attorney General [[Rod Rosenstein]] indicted [[The indictment of 12 Russian nationals, 13 July 2018|12 Russian nationals]], who would never stand trial, to re-start the myth of Russian hacking the DNC. The indictment was intended to cover-up the [[corrupt]] activities of the Obama DOJ and Democrats as their [[collusion]] with Russia was exposed.
