WikiLeaks on Tuesday tweeted that it's offering $20,000 for information that could help solve the July murder of a Democratic National Committee member.
Seth Rich was shot and killed on July 10 as he walked to his home in Northwest, D.C., in what police continue to investigate as a robbery, the Washington Times reports.
WikiLeaks would not divulge to the Times the reason behind its reward offer, but there's an inference that perhaps Rich, who worked in voter expansion for the DNC, might have been a source for the organization, something it would not confirm nor deny.
"We treat threats toward any suspected source of WikiLeaks with extreme gravity," WikiLeaks said in a statement to the Times. "This should not be taken to imply that Seth Rich was a source to WikiLeaks or to imply that his murder is connected to our publications."
WikiLeaks has been a bane to the DNC and its nominee Hillary Clinton in recent weeks, releasing a treasure trove of documents that subsequently ended the tenure of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as chair of the committee and other officials.
