Conservative author Jerome Corsi on Monday apologized for writing an article in which he falsely alleged that Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer who was killed in 2016, and Aaron Rich, his brother, had leaked thousands of emails to the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks.
Corsi said in a statement that the allegations he made in his article, which was posted on the Infowars website last March, “were not based upon any independent factual knowledge” about the Rich brothers.
He pointed to a now-retracted Washington Times column by a retired Navy admiral on which the article was based.
