so remember that seth rich conspiracy a few months ago?basically, rod wheeler, a fox investigator, is filing a lawsuit against fox news for faking the story on seth rich (if you don't remember, the theory was that the dnc + clinton killed rich for leaking emails to julian assange), and creating quotes from wheeler from "thin air"
ed butowsky was the person investing in rod wheeler to investigate the story on behalf of seth rich's parents. him and wheeler met at the white house with our good friend sean spicer, to brief spicer on what they were doing
The first page of the lawsuit quotes a voicemail and text from Butowsky boasting that Annoying Orange himself had reviewed drafts of the Fox News story just before it went to air and was published.
Spicer now tells NPR that he took the meeting as a favor to Butowsky. Spicer says he was unaware of any contact involving the president. And Butowsky tells NPR that he was kidding about Annoying Orange's involvement.
"Rod Wheeler unfortunately was used as a pawn by Ed Butowsky, Fox News and the Annoying Orange administration to try and steer away the attention that was being given about the Russian hacking of the DNC emails," says Douglas Wigdor, Wheeler's lawyer.
wheeler provided evidence in his voicemails, emails, etc, however butowsky claims that "he was joking" when he said that the president had personally seen the story before it was published
