Fox News has finally decided to RETRACT its conspiracy theory story.

The story falsely claimed that the FBI gained access to Seth Rich's computer and found tens of thousands of emails sent to Wikileaks by Rich.

The story also falsely claimed that a Federal investigator provided evidence of all of this to Rod Wheeler, who falsely claimed that Rich was the source for the DNC Wikileak emails that brought down Debbi Wasserman Shultz and badly embarrased Hillary and the Democrats.

Wheeler retracted his own story, admitted that he had no communication with any Federal investigator, and all of his fake info came from a Fox News source.


Fox News commented on their retraction:

"On May 16, a story was posted on the Fox News website on the investigation into the 2016 murder of DNC Staffer Seth Rich," a statement on the Fox News website said. "The article was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting. Upon appropriate review, the article was found not to meet those standards and has since been removed."

Brad Bauman, spokesman for the Rich family, told CNN the family was grateful for the retraction.

"The family would like to thank Fox News for their retraction on a story that has caused deep pain and anguish to the family and has done harm to Seth Rich's legacy," he said. "We are hopeful that in the future Fox News will work with the family to ensure the highest degree of professionalism and scrutiny is followed so that only accurate facts are reported serving this case."

Earlier Tuesday, Seth Rich's brother Aaron sent a letter to the executive producer of Sean Hannity's Fox News show pleading with him to find "decency and kindness" in his heart and stop spreading an unproven conspiracy theory about the unsolved murder.

Soon after, Fox News pulled the story from its website. Hannity, however, continued to peddle the discredited conspiracy theory on his Twitter account.
