Stella Moris wants to move to Australia with the Wikileaks founder and their two young children if he can beat the Trump administration's attempt to extradite him.
The Australian lawyer representing Julian Assange has told his extradition hearing the Trump Administration offered the Australian a pardon over the WikiLeaks publications.
US prosecutors have repeatedly argued that WikiLeaks publication of the documents in full disqualifies Assange's claim that he is a journalist.
Assange claimed that he never put informants lives at risk when he published hundreds of thousands of State Department documents.
Assange is facing 18 counts of violating the Espionage Act for encouraging former Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to hack into defence systems.
Court officials spent more than an hour trying to establish a video link to the US to hear the evidence of an attorney who opposes Assange's extradition.
The extradition hearing for Julian Assange will resume at London's Old Bailey on Monday,after a coronavirus scare shut down proceedings last week.
The wife of one of the barristers for the US may have had exposure to the virus. Tests are being taken and the outcome will be known on Friday.
A London court has been told that Donald Trump's hostility towards Barack Obama is partly why the Trump administration is pursuing Julian Assange over the publication of classified documents.
Judge Vanessa Baraitser told Assange that she did not want to hear his case in his absence but that she would be left with no choice if he continued to shout.
Allowing Julian Assange to be sent to the US on espionage charges sets a dangerous precedent for Australian citizens,former foreign affairs minister Bob Carr says.
