Washington: US Vice President Joe Biden has said Washington is seeking legal pursuit of wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
"We're looking at that right now. The Justice Department is taking a look at that. And, I'm not going to comment on that process," said Joe Biden, US Vice President.
The US Vice President said the Justice Department is looking at what the US can do to stop more document releases from WikiLeaks.
Biden said if Assange conspired to get classified documents with a member of the US military, then "that's fundamentally different" than if a reporter were given classified material by a source.
An Army private is suspected of passing classified information to WikiLeaks.
