| Description | Assange's barrister revealed the claim at Westminster Magistrates' Court ahead of an extradition hearing next week.
District Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled the witness's evidence admissible.
The White House said the claim is "a complete fabrication and a total lie".
Assange is facing extradition to the US on 18 charges over leaked diplomatic cables.
He faces up to 175 years in prison if found guilty.
His barrister, Edward Fitzgerald QC, told the court there was evidence alleging that former US Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher made the pardon offer. |
