Rudy Giuliani says he didn’t really mean for anyone to take him seriously when he urged a mob of #MAGA followers to engage in “trial by combat” on Jan. 6 before they stormed the Capitol.

Dressed in a canary yellow outfit, the 79-year-old designer led protesters who chanted Free Julian Assange outside London's Central Criminal Court. Assange was arrested last year after being evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been holed up for years.

Lawyers for the U.S. argued in court Monday that Assange's publication of military secrets had risked the lives of people in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan who had assisted the West, Reuters reported. Meanwhile, Assange's lawyer claimed the case could lead to criminalizing activities that were essential to investigative journalism, according to the news agency. Protesters from across Europe gathered in London on Saturday to demand Assange's release and rally against his potential extradition. Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis also spoke at the protest, with Varoufakis describing WikiLeaks as "what every self-respecting news outlet ought to be." He also announced that Euroleaks, a project he was launching with Assange, would "see the light of day" on March 10.
