Newt Gingrich fuels conspiracy theory about murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich fueled a conspiracy theory on Sunday that Democratic National Committee staff member Seth Rich was killed during the 2016 presidential campaign to hide how WikiLeaks obtained emails hacked from the Democratic Party.

“We have this very strange story now of this young man who worked for the Democratic National Committee, who apparently was assassinated at 4 in the morning, having given WikiLeaks something like 53,000 emails and 17,000 attachments,” Gingrich said on “Fox and Friends,” according to the Washington Post.
