Mueller assessed WikiLeaks role in fueling Seth Rich conspiracy theory

Special counsel Robert Mueller focused a portion of his final report on WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange making false statements about slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich and the theft of emails from Democratic officials.

Rich was killed in Washington, D.C., on July 10, 2016, in what police have described as a botched robbery. But Rich’s death quickly became the subject of conspiracy theories claiming he was killed in a politically motivated hit job for leaking stolen emails to WikiLeaks.
