Julian Assange may be ready to break his silence.

The Senate Intelligen­ce Committee asked Assange this month to testify in its investigat­ion into Russian interferen­ce in the 2016 presidenti­al election — and the elusive anti-secrecy activist is “considerin­g” the request, WikiLeaks said Wednesday.
