Full title.....................BREAKING NEWS: President Trump pressured Fox News to release fake story about death of DNC staffer Seth Rich and Wikileaks to divert attention from Russia, claims explosive lawsuit....................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.
Wheeler is a former Washington DC homicide detective who investigated Rich;'s murder and frequently appeared as a guest on Fox News to discuss the case.
The filing also includes a text message from Butowsky, a Texas wealth manager and Trump supporter, to Wheeler, in which he discusses the President's eagerness to see the story published.
'Not to add any more pressure but the president just read the article. He wants the article out immediately. It's now all up to you. But don't feel the pressure,' Butowsky texted Wheeler according to the filing.

Full court press on fake news.
The Ministry of Propaganda does not want anyone asking,
“Who Killed Seth Rich For Leaking The DNC E-Mails?”
Why do they think it is fake?
Good! This lawsuit will force the Seth Rich story to see the light of day. I wonder if Trump is behind it. ;-)
Assange fingered Rich as the source by offering a big reward for info leading to arrest of the perpetrators.
Interesting, this tells me that Wasserman-Schultz laptop must have really good evidence on it.
such crap. if Trump pressured them at all, it was to do their job and report on a very serious matter such as the death of a DNC employee mysteriously murdered while info was being leaked.

Left has full on flood the zone to counter the truth. Wasserman-Schultz will be indicted in the death of Seth Rich before the end of the year.
The headline is typical fake news. It summarizes the allegations in a lawsuit, not in fact or substance.
