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. They hoped Waldman, a former Clinton Justice Department official, might navigate the U.S. law enforcement bureaucracy and find the right people to engage. Waldman met three times with Assange during January and February 2017 in London. Russian oligarch [[Oleg Deripaska]], whom Waldman represents, visited Assange nine times over 2017.
