DISINFO: Hillary Clinton proposed a drone attack on the Wikileaks founder

SUMMARY

Hillary Clinton proposed a drone attack on the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange when she was the Secretary of State. The US State Department supposedly offered a reward for catching and releasing Assange to the US.

RESPONSE

An unconfirmed report from an untrustworthy source that claims to receive the information from its anonymous "source in the US State Department." This website regularly publishes unverifiable assertions while referring to anonymous sources (slct.al/2dFz1VD), . In response to the allegations, Hillary Clinton said that she does not remember ever joking about targeting Assange and that “it would have been a joke if it had been said“ (politi.co/2dI2vDa), .
