Attorney Ty Clevenger fired off a blistering letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel back in April, accusing the FBI of flagrantly concealing critical records about the late DNC staffer Seth Rich and the now-discredited Russia collusion narrative.
Seth Rich was murdered in the summer of 2016 before the release of the Hillary Clinton emails. His death has never been explained. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange suggested it was Rich who provided the Hillary-DNC emails to his organization and NOT Russia.
In February 2024, Clevenger demanded that the FBI hand over the Seth Rich documents that they continue to conceal from the public.
Even more damning, Clevenger has already uncovered proof that the FBI improperly withheld pages from the CrowdStrike report related to the alleged 2016 DNC hack—an event that conveniently became a political weapon against President Donald Trump.
In April, Attorney Ty Clevenger filed a motion in federal court to hold the FBI in contempt for what he calls a “deliberate and willful defiance” of a court order mandating the release of key information related to murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich.
The letter obtained by The Gateway Pundit implicated former DOJ and intelligence officials in what Clevenger describes as a systemic cover-up designed to protect the Obama-era deep state operatives and their media allies.
Clevenger, representing plaintiff Brian Huddleston in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the FBI (Huddleston v. Federal Bureau of Investigation), claims the agency is withholding documents that could unravel the official narrative surrounding Rich’s 2016 murder and the so-called ‘Russian hacking’ of DNC emails.
The attorney argues that the FBI’s refusal to release records, including those from Rich’s work laptop, is not only a violation of FOIA but also an attempt to shield evidence that could exonerate Russia and point to an inside job at the DNC.
Earlier this week, Attorney Ty Clevenger sent a scathing letter to James Gillingham, the attorney representing the FBI in the Seth Rich FOIA case.
Clevenger added information on how former FBI Director James Comey would deliberately misspell names (e.g., for Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, and Anthony Weiner) so that his emails would not be discovered during keyword searches.
James Comey was using a private email account under a fake name in order to hide his communications, and the recipient of Comey’s emails was using a non-FBI account even though he was an FBI special employee. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 11/20/2025) (Archive)
