She's not testifying against herself. She's testifying against Assange.

Manning has already been tried, found guilty, and then pardoned for her crimes. She's basically immune to anything she testifies. But investigators need the evidence as they're building a case against Assange.

Manning’s sentence was commuted, not pardoned.

So interesting, I didn't know you could be forced to testify against someone else.
