I can think of four reasons:

A. It's only speculated that Trump has some sort of special relation with Putin; it's by no means certain, and if so, this might not be part of their relation.

B. A relation between Trump and Putin doesn't have to mean much for the rest of the administration.

C. Assange is just a pawn.

D. Why would Trump draw even more attention to himself?

When Iran coordinated attacks on American soldiers, Trump almost started World War III. When Russia coordinated and put bounties on American soldiers' heads, Trump tried getting Putin invited to the G7 summit.

Saying that Trump has a special relationship with Putin isn't even close to speculation. It's an easily observable understatement of the decade.

I like how the slug in the url omits the word "not" that's in the actual page headline. This is a word that really changes the meaning of a statement.
