By Rachel Weiner Rachel Weiner Local reporter covering federal court in Alexandria, Va. and local court in Arlington and Alexandria. Email Bio Follow March 5 at 10:44 AM Former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning appeared in Alexandria federal court Tuesday to fight a subpoena requiring her to testify in front of a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In an hour long closed hearing, Judge Claude Hilton blocked Manning from unsealing her effort to fight the subpoena. Manning, 31, was convicted in 2013 of the largest leak of classified documents in U.S. history and served seven years of a 35-year military prison sentence before being released by then-President Obama.
During Manning’s 2011 military trial, prosecutors revealed chat logs showing the Army private chatted with Assange about cracking a password to a computer anonymously. But during the trial Manning testified that she acted alone and approached other news organizations before going to WikiLeaks. The anti-secrecy website published the material.
