 More from America in the Morning's Jeff McKay. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has agreed to plead guilty to violating the Espionage Act. According to the Department of Justice, the hearing will be held on the island of Saipan in the Pacific Ocean. At that hearing, Assange will plead guilty to a sole charge of violating the Espionage Act, but he will not serve any jail time. The guilty plea will resolve Assange's outstanding legal matters with the U.S. government.
