"The U.S. Senate Select Committee request confirms their interest in hearing from Mr Assange," lawyer Jennifer Robinson said in a statement.
"The inquiry has asked for him to appear in person at a mutually agreeable time and place. We are seriously considering the offer but must ensure Mr Assange's protection is guaranteed."

BREAKING: 71 Illegal aliens were shot, trying to cross the border this morning!
—Just kidding. It was actually black people in Chicago last weekend. You can go back to not giving a damn, liberals.
>Richard Burr and Mark Warner both faggots and have no intention of letting Julian testify
Maybe it's not about testifying so much as controlling his data…
"Some of the characters are household names, thanks to the Russia scandal: James Comey, fired FBI director. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr. Julian Assange, grand master of WikiLeaks. And American attorney Adam Waldman, who has a Forrest Gump-like penchant for showing up in major cases of intrigue.
Each played a role in the early days of the Trump administration to try to get Assange to agree to “risk mitigation” — essentially, limiting some classified CIA information he might release in the future.
The effort resulted in the drafting of a limited immunity deal that might have temporarily freed the WikiLeaks founder from a London embassy…
But an unexpected intervention by
Comey
relayed through Warner — soured the negotiations, multiple sources tell me.
Assange eventually unleashed a series of leaks that U.S. officials say damaged their cyber warfare capabilities for a long time to come.

Sen. Mark Warner
the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News.
"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country,"
Warner texted the lobbyist
Adam Waldman
on March 22, 2017.
"I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.

moar:
Waldman is a lawyer and consultant in Washington and Deripaska’s primary lobbyist. He also represents other clients
including Hollywood stars.
Last year Deripaska paid Waldman about $562,000. According to filings to the Department of Justice (DoJ) by Waldman’s firm, the Endeavor Group, his work for Deripaska focused on advising the oligarch’s company UC Rusal on legal issues.
When Deripaska first hired him, in 2009, Waldman’s firm was on a $40,000-per-month retainer.
The Russian magnate was having problems obtaining a visa because of alleged connections to organised crime, which Deripaska denies.
Waldman lobbied the US government to get Deripaska a visa.
Waldman also served as a counsel for Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov.
A 2010 DoJ filing showed that the Endeavor Group was hired by Lavrov to help ease the “persistent state of limbo” that Deripaska faced as a result of his being refused entry into the US.
In a letter to Waldman, Lavrov hailed Deripaska as one of Russia’s “prominent business leaders”.
Waldman declined to answer questions from the Guardian about his meetings with Assange or whether they were connected to the Russian billionaire.
Waldman has not registered himself as a lobbyist for the WikiLeaks founder.
A report last year by Fox News, which obtained leaked text messages between Waldman and the
US senator Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, suggested Waldman tried to broker a deal between Assange and the DoJ
and that the negotiations were fruitless. It is not clear whether Waldman was brokering the deal on Assange’s behalf or someone else’s.
