Fox News, family of slain DNC staffer Seth Rich settle suit
Read full article: Fox News, family of slain DNC staffer Seth Rich settle suitNEW YORK – Fox News has reached a settlement with slain Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich's parents, who alleged in a lawsuit that the cable news company exploited their son's death in stories and commentary. Rich was shot and killed in 2016 in Washington, D.C., in what authorities described as a botched robbery attempt. His parents, Joel and Mary Rich, had objected to a Fox article and commentary falsely suggesting their son had leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign. Internet theories that Rich had been assassinated for leaking emails were contradicted by U.S. intelligence reports. The court said that the family had plausibly alleged what amounted to a campaign of emotional torture.
