Chelsea Manning has filed to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland. (AP) <\/p>\n

Chelsea Manning, a transgender former Army intelligence analyst convicted of leaking classified documents, has filed to run for the U.S. Senate.<\/p>\n

The Washington Post first reported Saturday that Manning has filed to run in Maryland for the seat of Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin.<\/p>\n

The Federal Election Commission website shows a Jan. 11 filing for Chelsea Manning for U.S. Senate with the party affiliation registered as Democrat -- suggesting a primary challenge for Cardin.<\/p>\n

Manning, then known as Bradley Manning, was arrested in 2010 and convicted in 2013 of leaking a trove of sensitive documents to WikiLeaks. Mannings sentence was controversially commuted by President Barack Obama in 2017 after Manning had served seven years of a 35-year sentence.<\/p>\n

Since leaving prison, Manning has become known for controversial tweets, often accompanied with a series of emojis and the hashtag #WeGotThis. Last week, Manning tweeted out the message f---k the police on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, along with the hashtag #DisarmThePolice<\/p>\n

Manning has also referred to Immigration and Customs Enforcement as literally the new gestapo.<\/p>\n
