National Security journalist Marcy Wheeler on Wednesday said that the GOP donor responsible for spreading false conspiracy theories about Benghazi and murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was a classic Republican “ratfc*cker.”

On Tuesday, an NPR report revealed that Ed Butowsky, a Republican donor and supporter of President Donald Trump, had orchestrated a conspiracy theory to push back on suspicions that Russia had helped Trump win the White House. According to Butowsky’s theory, Rich was murdered because he — instead of the Russians — passed stolen DNC emails to Wikileaks.

Rod Wheeler, who was hired by Butowsky to investigate the Rich murder, alleged in a lawsuit that Fox News and the White House helped to advance the conspiracy theory.

During an interview with DemocracyNow on Wednesday, Wheeler pointed out that Butowsky has also taken credit for spreading conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton’s role in the terrorist attack in Benghazi.
