Chelsea Manning, the former Army intelligence analyst convicted of leaking troves of U.S. secrets, was released from prison on Wednesday after former President Barack Obama commuted her sentence in January.

In 2013, Manning was sentenced to a 35-year prison term for releasing hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks. But Obama commuted the bulk of Manning's sentence days before he left office, allowing the soldier, who has served seven years in prison, to be freed 28 years early.
