The former Army intelligence officer was questioned as part of an investigation into WikiLeaks.
By Rachel Weiner Rachel Weiner Local reporter covering federal court in Alexandria, Va. and local court in Arlington and Alexandria. Email Bio Follow March 7 at 1:50 PM Former Army intelligence officer Chelsea Manning faces possible jail time after refusing to answer a grand jury’s questions about her disclosure of classified State Department cables and war logs in 2010 to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks.
“Yesterday, I appeared before a secret grand jury after being given immunity for my testimony,” Manning said in a statement Thursday. “All of the substantive questions pertained to my disclosures of information to the public in 2010 — answers I provided in extensive testimony, during my court-martial in 2013.
“I will exhaust every legal remedy available,” Manning said in her statement. “My legal team continues to challenge the secrecy of these proceedings, and I am prepared to face the consequences of my refusal.” David House, who befriended Manning in 2010 at a hacker space in Boston he founded, testified under immunity in front of the grand jury last July. He said he, too, was asked about the war logs Manning shared with WikiLeaks.
