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.

The tweet also included a copy of the letter delivered to Assange.

It requests Assange make himself "available" for a closed interview with the committee "at a mutually agreeable time and location," and to respond as soon as he receives the letter.
