Trump's already obviously worried about Assange being out in the wild. Trump's already resorting to his usual ploy of denying any knowledge of WikiLeaks in spite of the fact there are slews of recorded material showing him expressing his love for WikiLeks ans encouraging their leaks during his 2016 campaign. It's Trump's "go to" behavior; he'll express great support for someone or something at first, then, when it becomes obvious whoever/whatever he has supported is gonna come back and bite him, he suddenly (and laughably) denies any knowledge of whoever/whatever or their actions and any possible connections they may have to him and his dwindling "empire". Trump's big problem with Assange is complicated by the fact WikiLeaks quite possibly (and probably) has a goodly amount of dirt on Trump and his cronies, just as he had on Hillary. Now Truump faces tha fact if Assange wants to sink him, Assange just might have the torpedoes to do the job. I really doubt the DOJ will try to isolate Assange to try to protect Trump (such a move would be way too obvious to the press and the public) and, likewise, the scenario of Assange having a "bad accident" while in custody (besides being a suicidal move by Trump's minions) would without a doubt make whatever scrutiny Trump has undergone thus far look like a series of very polite questions...
Also to be considered is this: Assange is a very smart con artist and a bit of a blackmailer, and most likely has a backup strategy where, if any thing bad happens to him, one or some of his many, many followers would quite likely release whatever damning material WikiLeaks holds against those who harm him; it may just bode better for Trump and his minions to just let Assange slide...
