45. Mr. Butowsky stumbled into the RCH crosshairs after Ellen Rattner, a news analyst for Fox News and the White House correspondent for Talk Media News,contacted him in the Fall of 2016 about a meeting she had with Mr. Assange. Ms.Rattner's brother, the late Michael Rattner, was an attorney who had represented Mr.Assange. According to Ms. Rattner, she made a stop in London during a return flight from Berlin, and she met with Mr. Assange for approximately six hours in the Ecuadorean embassy. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange told her that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron, were responsible for releasing the DNC emails to Wikileaks. Ms. Rattner said Mr. Assange wanted the information relayed to Seth's parents, as it might explain the motive for Seth's murder.
