The Republican Party is planning a congressional inquiry into WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.

The party, which was due to wrest control of the house today, has included WikiLeaks in a list of priorities for investigation.

The move is partly political, aimed at the Attorney-General, Eric Holder, who the Republicans claim has been too slow and too weak in reacting to the leaks. Last month he said the Justice Department was looking at what action could be taken against Mr Assange but that lawyers were struggling to find legislation under which the Australian national could be prosecuted.

Darrell Issa, who will take over as chairman of the House of Representatives oversight committee and is calling for Mr Holder's resignation, said of Mr Assange in an interview on Sunday: ''If the President says, 'I can't deal with this guy as a terrorist,' then he has to be able to deal with him as a criminal. Otherwise the world is laughing at this paper tiger we've become.''
