Businessman Ed Butowsky filed a lawsuit last week where he outed reporter Ellen Ratner as his source for the Seth Rich information.

This comes after Michael Isikoff’s report the previous week that labeled Butowsky as a Russian source for disinformation.

Ed told The Gateway Pundit last week that Ellen Ratner lied to Isikoff.

Ed provided The Gateway Pundit with a copy of his email with Ratner from 2016.

The Gateway Pundit attempted to contact Ellen Ratner but did hear back from her.

Ratner’s late brother Michael Ratner was a lawyer for Wikileaks before his death in 2016.

Butowsky added that he spoke with Isikoff off the record and Isikoff broke his trust by contacting Ratner.

Butowsky told The Gateway Pundit that after last week’s report he was forced to speak out.

Ed also says he has more evidence that Ratner was his source on the Seth Rich information.

Butowsky claims Ratner gathered the information on Seth Rich after contact with Wikileaks officials.

On Sunday Conservative Treehouse posted video of Ellen Ratner from November 9th 2016.

Ratner spoke at Embry Riddle University symposium, representing the left, and former Congressman now Fox political analyst John Leboutillier, who represented the right, discussed the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election.

During the symposium Ratner admitted she met with Julian Assange for three hours the Saturday before the 2016 election.

Ellen Ratner: By the way, as an fyi, I met with Wikileaks. I spent three hours with Julian Assange on Saturday at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Well, I did. One thing he did say was the leaks were not from, they were not from the Russians, they were an internal source from the Hillary Campaign. From somebody who knew Hillary, an enemy. He does not think they’re from Russians. And he says Russia should not get credit for something Wikileaks should have gotten credit for.

This was the day after the 2016 election!

As far as we know Ellen Ratner was NEVER interviewed by the Mueller sham Trump collusion investigation!
