Who Is Chelsea Manning? WikiLeaks Informant Appeals To President Obama For Commutation Of Sentence

Chelsea Manning made an attempt at appealing to President Barack Obama for clemency taking “full and complete responsibility” for her “wrong” actions, before the latter is replaced by President-elect Donald Trump early next year.

Manning, then referred to as Bradley Manning, was arrested in 2010 and later, in 2013, convicted in military court of six Espionage Act violations and 14 other offenses related to leaking over 700,000 secret military and State Department documents to Julian Assange’s whistleblower organization WikiLeaks.
