US denies 'wild' Assange claims of witch-hunt
The United States on Monday denied Julian Assange's assertion that Washington was orchestrating a 'witch-hunt' for him, saying the WikiLeaks founder was making 'wild' claims to deflect attention.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that the United States had nothing to do with attempts by Britain to extradite Assange, who is holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London and is wanted in Sweden over sexual allegations.
