Seth Rich’s Cousin Suspects Seth Was Killed For Leaking To Wikileaks

Jonathan Rich, the cousin of slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, is speaking out.

According to Cassandra Fairbanks at Big League Politics, in a now-deleted tweet, Jonathan responded to Sean Hannity of Fox News who had posted an article about their findings that his cousin had contacted WikiLeaks and sent them the emails which were released shortly after his death.

“First thing I said when my Dad told me was he knew something and he was murdered. The rest of the family thought I was nuts. See last name,” Jonathan tweeted.

His first contact with a journalist about his cousin appears to be Kristen Soltis Anderson, a Republican columnist at the DC Examiner — in response to a tweet from the Democratic Party.

“He was my cousin we agreed on nothing, but he was a great kid who absolutely did not deserve this. #waste,” he tweeted at the Democratic Party’s Twitter account with the journalist tagged. It is unclear if he was responding to something that Anderson had retweeted, or if he had deliberately tagged her.

From there, he would occasionally comment on the case through his Twitter account, though his tweets went largely unnoticed.

On November 2, Jonathan responded to a tweet linking to a podcast that asked, “Why do people close to Hillary & Bill Clinton tend to end up dead in weird ways?”

“like my cousin.” Jonathan responded.
