WikiLeaks, the controversial transparency organization that publishes classified government documents, is offering a $20,000 reward for information on aDemocratic National Committee staffer who was killed last month.
Seth Rich, a 27-year-old data analyst at the DNC, was shot and killed while walking home in his Washington D.C. neighborhood that police say was a robbery gone wrong.Rich's murder rapidly became a target of right-wing conspiracy theorists, including a longtime informal adviser ofDonald Trump, Roger Stone.
Stone has been in contact with the founder ofWikiLeaks, Julian Assange, who implied in an interview with a Dutch news program that Rich was killed for leaking internalDNC emails. "Whistleblowers often take very significant efforts to bring us material and often at very significant risks," Assange said in the interview.
