Kevin Gosztola interviewed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who testified during the second week of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's extradition trial.

He has Dan comment on the questions he received from lead prosecutor James Lewis. Later, Dan addresses the U.S. Espionage Act, how far the Trump Justice Department thinks they can go in prosecuting Assange, and how the law was deployed against him nearly 50 years ago. Kevin and Dan conclude with some discussion on the political nature of this unprecedented prosecution.
