Journalist Matt Couch, editor in chief of The DC Patriot, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Verizon, NPR, Michael Isikoff, and Seth Rich’s brother Aaron. Couch was instrumental in informing the world about Seth Rich, the slain former Democratic National Committee staffer who many believe was the source of the DNC emails published by Julian Assange at Wikileaks during the 2016 election, which exposed the Democrats’ kiboshing of Bernie Sanders in the primary and the Podesta brothers’ invitation to a Spirit Cooking ceremony. The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. Couch can be followed on Twitter at @realmattcouch where he covers the Seth Rich case and investigates the political tumult of the modern age.

The lawsuit states: “On August 6, 2020, as part of a six-part podcast entitled “Conspiracyland,”published by Yahoo! News, a subsidiary of Verizon, Isikoff engaged in one of the most irresponsible smear campaigns in contemporary journalism, defaming and disparaging Plaintiff Matthew Couch, the publisher of a widely read online blog, the DC Patriot, and a conservative commentator with over 400,000 Twitter followers, either through his own words or those he plainly endorsed, as a “vicious,” “alt-right” “Internet crankster,” “Internet conspiracy entrepreneur,” “Internet troll” and “Internet bully,” who, from the “mountains of the Ozarks” was spreading “lies” about Aaron, the brother of Seth Rich, the DNC staffer killed in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016 under circumstances that still, four years later, have not been explained. Isikoff is no ordinary “journalist.” Rather, he is a shameless partisan hack, who was personally responsible for helping spread the baseless conspiracy theory that Donald Trump conspired with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. As this conspiracy theory has collapsed, Isikoff and others in the media have sought to attack and discredit anyone, including Plaintiff, associated with any investigations that would potentially undermine the official narrative promoted by Washington D.C. insiders to destroy Donald Trump.”

The young victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will get a second chance at seeking justice after an entire appellate court agreed Friday to rehear claims that federal prosecutors in South Florida violated their rights when they kept them in the dark about a secret plea deal with the now-deceased Palm Beach multimillionaire.

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a previous panel’s 2-1 decision that rejected a petition by one of Epstein’s victims. She sought to undo the agreement that federal prosecutors struck with Epstein not to charge him with trafficking girls for his own sexual pleasure more than a decade ago.

A majority of the appeals court in Atlanta voted to rehear the appeal, setting the stage for a possible solution for potentially dozens of victims in the ground-breaking Epstein case. Despite its ruling in April, the three-judge panel had called the South Florida prosecutors’ deal with Epstein “beyond scandalous” and a “national disgrace.”
