Now this is FAKE News.
FOX News pushing the story that a young DNC staffer was murdered because he leaked a bunch of DNC emails to WikiLeaks.
Family of slain Seth Rich says reports he fed WikiLeaks DNC info are untrue.
The family of slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich refuted Fox News reports that he had leaked work e-mails to WikiLeaks before he was fatally shot last year in the District.
[........]
The allegations were reported by Fox News, including WTTG-TV, the District’s Fox News affiliate.
The reports cited a private investigator, Rod Wheeler, who Fox said was hired by the family and had previously worked for D.C. police.
He also has been an on-air contributor to the Fox-5 news station.
Fox also cited an unnamed federal official who said Rich had transferred thousands of emails to a WikiLeaks director.
Fox’s source asserts those emails were transferred between January 2015 and May 2016.
D.C. police have repeatedly said they believe Rich was killed in a random robbery attempt, but several conspiracy theories have emerged about his death.

The Rich family spokesman, Brad Bauman, also said Wheeler had not been hired by the family but by a “third-party” who Bauman says has a political agenda.
He declined to identify the person citing legal concerns.
He said Wheeler offered his services to the family “claiming he wanted to help.”
Bauman said Wheeler and the family had an agreement that Wheeler not talk to the media.
“This is devastating to the family,” Bauman said.
“They have confidence in the police investigation and believe that every single one of these fake news stories actually harms the ability of the police department to get to the bottom of what actually happened.”
So some anonymous guy pays for the services of a private investigator to 'help' this family find out who murdered their son and he proceeds to smear their dead son by saying that he was leaking DNC emails to WikiLeaks.
Then he breaks his word and feeds this phony conspiracy theory to the media.
The theory being of course that the DNC and/or Hillary Clinton murdered him.
Family's private investigator: There is evidence Seth Rich had contact with WikiLeaks prior to death.
Rod Wheeler, a private investigator hired by the Rich family, suggests there is tangible evidence on Rich's laptop that confirms he was communicating with WikiLeaks prior to his death.
Wheeler's services were offered to the family and paid for by a third party, according to a statement issued by the Rich family Tuesday which also includes that "the private investigator who spoke to press was offered to the Rich family and paid for by a third party, and
contractually was barred from speaking to press or anyone outside of law enforcement or the family unless explicitly authorized by the family."
Contractually barred.
The family should sue the **** out of him.
Have these people no shame?
They should burn in hell for what they are doing to that family.
