![]() ![]() The US accuses Assange of conspiring with Manning in March 2020 to attempt to crack a password hash based on a conversation using the Jabber instant messaging service. Judge Vanessa Baraitser announced that she would not rule on the case until next year – after the US election – following requests from Assange’s defence team for a further four weeks to prepare their closing submissions. Patrick Eller, a former criminal investigator in the US Army, told the Old Bailey that cracking the password was not technically possible and even if it had been, it would not have helped Manning download sensitive documents without being tracked.Įller was giving evidence on the 13th day of the hearing.
