Chelsea Manning Freed from Jail After 62 Days as WikiLeaks Grand Jury Expires

HeadlineMay 10, 2019

In northern Virginia, famed U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning was released from a federal prison Thursday after spending 62 days behind bars for refusing to testify to a grand jury. Manning had been subpoenaed to answer questions about her leak of hundreds of thousands of secret State Department and Pentagon documents to WikiLeaks—including evidence of U.S. war crimes. The grand jury ultimately disbanded. Manning’s freedom could be short-lived; her lawyers said in a statement that she will again refuse to testify in response to a separate subpoena.
