What is wiki leak episode?

The WikiLeaks episode refers to a series of events surrounding the release of classified and sensitive documents by the organization WikiLeaks, founded by Julian Assange in 2006. Notably, in 2010, WikiLeaks published a significant trove of U.S. military and diplomatic documents, including the Afghanistan and Iraq War logs and U.S. diplomatic cables, which revealed controversial actions and communications. This led to widespread debate over government transparency, national security, and the ethics of whistleblowing, and it sparked legal actions against Assange, who sought asylum to avoid extradition.
