Judicial Watch Pres. Formally Files an FOIA Request with Police and the FBI over the Murder of Seth Rich

President of Judicial Watch (JW) Tom Fitton says his organization is now investigating the murder. The Democrats insist that the DNC emails had been hacked by Russia or agents in collusion with Moscow.



According to Fitton, last week JW filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and the D.C. Mayor’s Office. JW also has a FOI request to the FBI about the alleged DNC hack. Fitton says:



“You can trust Judicial Watch to get to the bottom of this issue…and to get the documents directly so that you and the American people can figure out whether or not there needs to be a controversy about this tragic murder, or whether there’s something more than meets the eye.”



I have consulted with my lawyers. I accept that my full statement should be provided to the authorities and I am prepared to do that so that there can be a full investigation. My lawyers will speak with the authorities regarding the proper process.



If my evidence is required to be given in the United States I would be prepared to do so if appropriate arrangements are made. I would need a guarantee from Special Counsel Mueller, on behalf of the United States, of safe passage from New Zealand to the United States and back. In the coming days we will be communicating with the appropriate authorities to make the necessary arrangements. In the meantime, I will make no further comment.



Our hope now is in Judicial Watch, the D.C.-based citizens’ watchdog group.
