Rand and Ron Paul Have Julian Assange's Support
He calls them "the strongest supporters of the fight against the U.S. attack on WikiLeaks and on me."
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange praised United States Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and his father, Dr. Ron Paul, during an interview Friday in which he said the family has been among the biggest supporters his whistleblowing group has in Congress.
Speaking from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Assange said during a live-streamed question-and-answer session that he is "a big admirer of Ron Paul and Rand Paul for their very principled positions in the US Congress on a number of issues."
The Paul family, added Assange, have been "the strongest supporters of the fight against the US attack on WikiLeaks and on me."
