Chelsea Manning, the former U.S. Army Intelligence officer convicted in 2013 of passing secret documents to Julian Assange, told The New York Times she would fight a subpoena to testify in a grand jury against the WikiLeaks founder. The subpoena follows the inadvertent disclosure of a secret filing by the Department of Justice against Assange after he was named in an unrelated sex-crime case. Manning said she has not been told specifically what she was being called to testify about but that her legal team would file a motion on Friday morning to quash it. “Given what is going on, I am opposing this,” she told the Times. “I want to be very forthright I have been subpoenaed. I don’t know the parameters of the subpoena apart from that I am expected to appear. I don’t know what I’m going to be asked.”
