Lawsuit Says Sean Spicer Reviewed A Fox News Report On A Fake Conspiracy Theory Before It Was Published – By Cora Lewis / Aug 1 2017
The private detective who ignited a false conspiracy theory about a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer sued Fox News and others on Tuesday, saying the network “created fake news to advance President Trump’s agenda.”
The suit, first reported by NPR, concerns a fake conspiracy theory around Seth Rich, which says Rich was in communication with Wikileaks and leaked the organization DNC emails during the 2016 presidential campaign — not Russia, as major US intelligence agencies concluded. The far-right and pro-Trump media, like Fox News, latched on to the false information as proof that President Trump’s campaign didn’t collude with Russia to tip the election in his favor.
Rod Wheeler, a former DC Metropolitan Police Department homicide detective and Fox News contributor, said that he met with then-Press Secretary Sean Spicer in his West Wing office to review a Fox News piece about the false conspiracy theory before it ran.
Accompanying Wheeler to the Spicer interview was Ed Butowsky — a Trump backer, Dallas investor and unpaid Fox contributor on financial matters. Butowsky had offered to pay Wheeler to investigate the death of Seth Rich, on behalf of his family.
