Judge Amos L. Mazzant ruled on Wednesday morning “a timeline for the disclosure of information on Seth Rich’s personal laptop, Seth Rich’s work laptop, the DVD and tape drive within 14 days following the issuance of this Memorandum of Opinion and Order.”
Rich, a Democratic National Committee employee, was killed on his way home from a night out in Washington, D.C. on July 10, 2016. He was on the phone with his girlfriend when shots were fired.
His killer has never been identified.
Per Newsweek:
A judge has ordered the FBI to turn over the laptop of murdered Democrat staffer Seth Rich.
Judge Amos L. Mazzant ordered “a timeline for the disclosure of information on Seth Rich’s personal laptop, Seth Rich’s work laptop, the DVD and tape drive within 14 days following issuance of this Memorandum of Opinion and Order” on Wednesday morning.
Rich, who worked for the Democratic National Committee, was killed on July 10, 2016, while making his way home from a night out in Washington, D.C. He was speaking to his girlfriend on the phone when shots were heard.
His death has, in the years since, been used by right-wing activists to fuel far-reaching theories about Democrats. While a killer has not been found, police have said evidence indicates he was the victim of a botched robbery.
