Julian Assange said news that text messages between two women and their friends accusing him of rape, is proof that he’s being set up.
The founder of Wikileaks said his lawyer has been gagged from discussing those messages, and that the allegations are the result of a smear campaign.
“I still have not been charged with anything,” he said.
Assange was released on bail Thursday and is under house arrest in a 10-bedroom mansion in England.
