President Trump pressured Fox News to release fake story about death of DNC staffer Seth Rich
UK Daily Mail ^ | 08/01/2017 | Chris Spargo

President Donald Trump is being accused of knowingly and actively trying to spread false news about the murder of DNC employee Seth Rich in a new lawsuit. Rod Wheeler filed a complaint on Tuesday in the Southern District of New York against Fox News, Malia Zimmerman and Ed Butowsky claiming that they worked together to create a false narrative surrounding the death of Rich. Also contributing to the creation of that fake news story was President Trump according to court documents, which claim that the Commander-in-Chief wanted the story to include multiple fake quotes which were attributed to Wheeler.

The Ministry of Propaganda really doesn’t want anyone asking,

“Who Killed Seth Rich For Leaking The DNC E-Mails?”

Obviously the truth is beginning to surface. Do the MSM and their handlers really think we’re all too stupid to notice this coordinated dis-information campaign aound the Rich murder that is being orchestrated today?

Yeah, Donald Trump pushed for the release of a “fake” story. Right.

Excellent, get it back front and center.

When his own family doesn’t want it investigated, somebody got paid off/threatened.

How about asking who killed him, and why? That should be the question.

No, really. Trump apparently pulled the trigger too. Highly placed un-named anonymous white house sources have been quoted. /s

Not even sure what the crime is here. Obviously fake news isn’t illegal nor is a political party colluding with news media.

Trump may have pushed because he thought it may have needed to be investigated. There is nothing wrong with him privately suggesting a story be looked into.

Another big pile of nothing.

Yep. Trump calls up Fox News and says: “Hey, push that fake quote about Seth Rich’s murder. Don’t ask me how I know it is fake, just push it.”
