Julian Assange’s lawyers have begin their final U.K. legal challenge to stop the WikiLeaks founder from being sent to the United States to face spying charges. They argued in London's High Court on Tuesday that his actions had exposed serious criminal actions by U.S. authorities and were “of obvious and important public interest.” The 52-year-old has been fighting extradition for more than a decade and has spent the last five years in a high-security prison. If the judges rule against Assange, he can ask the European Court of Human Rights to block his extradition. Supporters worry he could be put on a plane to the U.S. before that happens.

Former U.S. Rep. George Santos is suing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Santos says Kimmel deceived him into making videos on the Cameo app that were used to ridicule the disgraced New York Republican on air. The lawsuit alleges that Kimmel misrepresented himself to induce Santos to create personalized videos capitalizing on and ridiculing Santos’ “gregarious personality.” The videos were used on Kimmel's show for a segment called “Will Santos Say It?” A Disney representative listed as a media contact Kimmel's show didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday. Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives last year. He has pleaded not guilty to numerous criminal charges.
