Assange would have been asked to provide evidence the Russian government was not the source of DNC emails, and likely to turn over his source.

Re:Assange offered pardon if he co-operated over email leak, UK court ... on Wednesday February 19, 2020 @07:39PM (#22371726)

Rohrabacher: "I told him that if he could provide me information and evidence about who actually gave him the DNC emails, I would then call on President Trump to pardon him."

This story was broken by a tweet by SBS reporter Ben Lewis:

"Julian Assange court appearance today- His lawyer mentioned a statement, that alleges former US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher visited Assange, saying he was there on behalf of the President, offering a pardon if JA would say Russia had nothing to do with DNC leaks."
