Is Nigel Farage acting as a courier for Julian Assange?

Nigel Farage could be acting as a human courier passing secret communications to Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy, an intelligence expert has said.

Questions have swirled around the connection between the two men after the former UKIP leader was seen going into the embassy last month – where the Wikileaks founder has been holed up since 2012.

One theory is that Farage could be acting as a ‘back-channel’ between President Trump’s team and Assange after Roger Stone, a Republican strategist who is close to Trump, exposed links with Assange in an interview with CBS.
