Aaron Rich, Seth Rich’s brother, sued Butowsky and others in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging that the wealthy Texas financial adviser helped create a “defamatory campaign” against him and his late brother. “I’m waiting for first and second cousins to sue me now.”Asked to confirm he was speaking on the record, Butowsky exclaimed: “Yes! That led to the hiring of Rod Wheeler, a former Washington Metro Police Department investigator and Fox News contributor with a history of dabbling in conspiracy theories. “Those who defame and harass decent American citizens in an effort to advance their personal financial and partisan gain will be held accountable in court.” A spokesperson for the Rich family declined to respond to Butowsky. “Because I’m a little annoyed by the Rich family.”
