WikiLeaks' Assange questioned by prosecutors


(CNN) -- Swedish prosecutors questioned Julian Assange, the editor-in-chief of the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, for about an hour Monday, following complaints against him from two women, his lawyer said Tuesday.
"He maintains that he is completely innocent," lawyer Leif Silbersky told CNN.
Prosecutors may decide Wednesday about charges against him, prosecution official Karin Rosander, reversing an earlier statement by another official that a decision would come Tuesday.
New evidence has come to light, Rosander told CNN, which means the senior prosecutor needs more time to consider the case.
Rosander did not say what the new evidence was.
Assange was originally accused of rape by one woman and molestation by another, but Sweden's chief prosecutor ruled earlier this month that Assange would not be charged with rape. CNN
