Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) tells me that she's been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, which she intends to fight. Subpoena doesn't say topic, but it's likely related to the @wikileaks / Assange case. nytimes.com/2019/02/28/us/politics/chelsea-manning-subpoena.html
