Earlier this week, we reported that Rod Wheeler filed a complaint against Fox News, for allegedly pushing a false story about Seth Rich’s murder. The kicker is he claims Trump was in on all of it, as he wanted this to distract from the Russia narrative.
Fox News has responded, and adamantly denied these claims.

The family of murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich would like their son’s name out of the news, their spokesman said, after a blockbuster lawsuit alleged Fox News and the White House worked together to create a false narrative surrounding his death.
‘They didn’t ask to be in the middle of the media spotlight,’ family spokesman Brad Bauman said Wednesday morning on CNN. ‘The truth is, is that all these folks want is to find the murderer, or murderers that did this.
‘Since Seth’s passing last July they have done nothing but try to maintain a sense of loss and to grieve the way a family is meant to grieve and that, over and over again, because of conspiracy theories that have popped up, they have been deprived of that opportunity to move forward,’ the spokesman said on CNN’s New Day.
‘They have been deprived of the opportunity to seek some new normal,’ Bauman continued. ‘And, frankly, they believe the police have been deprived of the ability to prosecute the crime.’
However, some question Brad Bauman’s motives:
I listened to the Seymour Hersh tape…This stuff from Brad Bauman on CNN is pure garbage. He is paid for by the fucking DNC!

Brad Bauman was hired by the DNC as cover cover up guy and Crisis manager. Mean while more evidence points to the DNC as the culprit .

How far has CNN looked into Brad Bauman? He's simply a useful idiot. He gives their story what they think constitutes credibility.
