As we've reported, Julian Asange pleaded guilty to one charge in the US court in Saipan this morning.
Although he was allowed to walk free, that means he's a convicted criminal, and will need special permission to re-enter the US.
But Assange's brother, Gabriel Shipton, tells the BBC that they will seek a pardon from the US president.
"We're going to campaign now for a pardon for Julian," he says.
"We're going to be asking President Biden for a pardon, so that this conviction can be taken off the books.
"You know our allies in the Congress, Representative Jim McGovern has already tweeted out that this is a very very concerning precedent for people in the United States."
Yesterday, Assange's wife, Stella, also said the family would seek a pardon.
