WikiLeaks announced in a tweet Wednesday the Senate Intelligence Committee called on its founder Julian Assange to testify on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"US Senate Intelligence Committee calls editor @JulianAssange to testify. Letter delivered via US embassy in London. WikiLeaks' legal team say they are 'considering the offer but testimony must conform to a high ethical standard,'" the tweet said.

Democratic Senator Mark Warner. The very same democratic Senator Mark Warner about whom Julian Assange tried to leak dirt to Sean Hannity via a Twitter-DM.

If I were Warner, I would ask Assange under oath what kind of information he wanted to pass on to Sean Hannity. And why.
