Founded WikiLeaks, which published leaked US military and diplomatic files, and spent years in the Ecuadorian embassy and a British prison before a 2024 plea deal freed him.

Julian Assange sits in the right-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: centered on economy and strongly libertarian. The clearest positions are strongly anti-establishment on institutions, strongly libertarian on liberty and authority and strongly peace-first on war and peace. The profile is close to the middle on economy and environment.
