Oversight group Judicial Watch is suing the FBI for documents on the case of slain DNC staffer Seth Rich. In a recent statement, the president of the watchdog group, Tom Fitton, said FBI agents were discussing Rich’s murder shortly after it happened in the summer of 2016.
FBI records show former agent Peter Strzok sent an internal email chain about Rich to former FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Fitton also found FBI agents said Rich’s documents may have been mixed-up with an unspecified classified matter.

“We’d asked the FBI for documents, we didn’t get any answer…I think another request shows they had nothing,” he stated. “So we just had to sue for Seth Rich documents.”
“And why do we think the FBI is hiding their records?” asked Fittion. “Because in another case, we found Seth Rich records…one of the officials says ‘I squashed the story with someone’…denying any specific involvement.”
Judicial Watch said its lawsuit comes after the FBI failed to release Seth Rich documents under the Freedom of Information Act.
