WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a step closer to being extradited to the United States following an order by a United Kingdom court. With Assange supporters gathered outside, the Westminster Magistrates’ court in London formally issued an order on Wednesday to extradite the Australian to the US to face spying charges for publishing a trove of classified information more than 10 years ago. The order will now go to UK’s Home Secretary Priti Patel, who will decide whether to approve the extradition.
