WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was reunited with his family after touching down in his native Australia on Wednesday — just hours after pleading guilty to publishing US military secrets in a deal that sets him free after a 14-year legal saga.
Assange, 52, raised his fist as he stepped off a private jet at Canberra airport just after 5:30 a.m. ET (7:30 p.m. local time) before he was spotted passionately embracing his wife, Stella, and lifting her off the ground.
Speaking at a press conference just hours after his arrival, Assange’s wife choked up as she said he “needs time” to recuperate and reunite with their two young kids, ages 4 and 2, who have only ever known him as a prisoner.
