The murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich last year is now the subject of a lawsuit in New York against the Fox News Channel.
Rod Wheeler, a Fox News commentator and private investigator, alleges unpaid Fox News contributor Ed Butowsky and reporter Malia Zimmerman used fake quotations from Wheeler in a now-retracted story about Rich. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleges Butowsky and Zimmerman “kept in regular contact” with Trump administration officials on the story, and that President Donald Trump himself read the article before it was published. The story linked Rich to last year’s leak of DNC emails by WikiLeaks.
