The partner of Julian Assange, attorney Stella Morris, pleaded with President Donald Trump on Thanksgiving to pardon the Wikileaks boss who is currently fighting extradition to the United States.

Morris is a 37-year-old, South African-born lawyer who began a relationship with Assange in 2015 after years of providing legal aid in his fight against extradition. During that time, Assange was seeking diplomatic asylum inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Morris shared a photograph of the couple's two children on social media on the morning of Thanksgiving Day, directly urging Trump to pardon the Wikileaks chief. On Wednesday, Trump pardoned former U.S. national security adviser Michael Flynn, prompting speculation the president is set to offer pardons to a wide array of controversial figures — including himself.
