In reply to the discussion: Julian Assange has reached a plea deal with the U.S., allowing him to go free [View all]IbogaProject

I was coming here to post this and saw you had it up. Here is one more paragraph I wanted to post.
Assange was charged by criminal information which typically signifies a plea deal with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say. A letter from Justice Department official Matthew McKenzie to U.S. District Judge Ramona Manglona of the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands said that Assange would appear in court at 9 a.m. local time on Wednesday (or, 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday) to plead guilty and said that DOJ expects Assange will return to Australia, his country of citizenship, after the proceedings.

Per the NYT's, it's in the Marianas because it's closest to Australia. That's where he's returning.
