Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange OutFront with Erin Burnett
It has been more than five months since Wikileaks founder Julian Assange took refuge in Ecuador's embassy in London - an attempt to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual misconduct allegations.
Assange recently chided American politicians, including Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Rep. Peter King (R-NY) over pressuring major credit card companies like Mastercard and Visa to block money donated to Wikileaks.
"It is a serious issue that Senator Lieberman or Peter King or any other crazed right-wing extremists in the U.S. can apply an economic death penalty to any European company or organisation of their choice without any accountability, " said Assange.
Assange went on to tell British media outlets that even though it's a financially difficult situation - the whistle-blowing site will not close its doors.
Assange: How notoriety has changed a trapped man
Assange is out with his new book 'Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet.' The book discusses how the internet can be used as an instrument of freedom and oppression.
Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange is LIVE with Erin Burnett on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 7pm ET.

Two former top Republicans in Florida are speaking out and accusing the state's GOP of passing a law last year that was designed to limit the Democratic turnout, not to curb voter fraud.
That law lead to confusion on election day and long voting lines.
One of those leaders making allegations is Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer.
"When those consultants approached me about putting forth election changes to the law that would benefit the election party, I didn't agree to it," Greer said. "If you'll note after Christ was forced out after I was forced out, they all got together, and in 2010 is when they passed the election laws."
The Republican Party of Florida buck Greer's allegations and tells OutFront that "Jim Greer's claims are false and details keep changing."
