  • In January'17, former president Barack Obama commuted Manning's 35-year sentence, a decision that can't be undone by incumbent President Donald Trump.

    However, Republicans attacked his decision, saying it sends the wrong message.

    Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said he would agree to be extradited from the US only if Obama granted clemency to Manning and ensured her immediate release and a pardon.

  • Despite having her sentence commuted, former US President Barack Obama faced Chelsea Manning's ire for leaving a "vulnerable legacy" with "very few permanent accomplishments."

    Donald Trump took to Twitter, condemning her release, saying Manning "should never have been released from prison" and was an "Ungrateful TRAITOR" for criticizing Obama.

    In an editorial, Manning stated that the US was moving to darker times under Trump.
