A federal grand jury returned a second superseding indictment this week charging WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange with offenses relating to his involvement in the release of classified information. The indictment does not add any additional charges to the prior 18 count indictment, but broadens the scope of the conspiracy surrounding alleged computer intrusions with which Assange was previously charged.

This week, the Department of Justice announced Joshua Schulte, age 29, faces a 13-count superseding indictment concerning his alleged theft of classified national defense information.
