  1. New: Biden-era DOJ faces a litigation deadline of Friday to decide whether it will keep working to extradite Julian Assange.

      New: DOJ filed a brief in British court in support of extraditing Julian Assange. 1st opportunity for Biden admin to decide whether to continue Trump DOJ effort to prosecute him, incl. on charges that raise novel 1st Amendment issues. w/ @ElianPeltier nytimes.com/2021/02/12/us/politics/julian-assange-case-justice-department.html
