Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich has been confirmed as being a Wikileaks source by Seymour Hersh in a leaked telephone call.

The journalist, who has high level FBI sources, discussed what he knows about the murder in the call and revealed some interesting details about what is in the FBI report following the cyber unit investigation.

Seth Rich was an American employee for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) who was fatally shot in the Bloomingdale neighbourhood of Washington.

His murder has spawned several conspiracy theories that Rich had been involved with the leaked DNC emails in 2016, although these have since been debunked by US intelligence.

In the recording Hersh confirms that Rich had made contact with Wikileaks, submitting a series of “juicy emails” from the DNC for money.

He also shared the data with friends in case anything happened to him.
