Infowars and conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi have retracted a nearly year-old column of his that baselessly tied murdered Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich to the hacking and leaking of DNC documents to WikiLeaks. In that article, Dr. Corsi alleged that Seth Rich and his brother, Aaron Rich, were involved in downloading and leaking emails from the DNC to WikiLeaks. Dr. Corsi acknowledges that his allegations were not based upon any independent factual knowledge regarding Seth or Aaron Rich. Instead, Dr. Corsi relied primarily on, and quoted from, a column by Adm. James Lyons (Ret.) To that end, Dr. Corsi retracts the article and apologizes to the Rich family.
