WASHINGTON, D.C.: Lawyers for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sued the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its former director Mike Pompeo on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), alleging it recorded their conversations and copied data from their phones and computers.

The lawyers, along with two journalists joining the suit, are Americans and allege that the United States agency violated their constitutional protections for confidential discussions with Assange, who is Australian.
