Like sandwich cut by noted exile (7)
I believe the answer is:
assange
'sandwich cut by noted exile' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'like' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'as' and 'as' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for assange that I've seen before include "[WHISTLE BLOWER]" , "Embassy guest" , "WikiLeaks founder" .)
