Assange’s laptops .. during a September 2010 flight from Stockholm to Berlin.

Later WikiLeaks wrote that the file had been destroyed by .. Domscheit-Berg, who left the group in the fall of 2010 ... Domscheit-Berg .. confirmed .. he destroyed .. cryptographic keys .. of the files he took, but denies that the Garani video was part of the collection ...
