Chris Hedges of “On Contact,” who has been closely following the case, joins Faran Fronczak to share his insights on the latest from the case.

God knows how much I admire Assange – and Chris Hedges. But the Nobel Peace prize is given to criminals and is far too toxic these days. Assange deserves better.
