Soon after Rich's death, Wikileaks released a multitude of emails which indicated that members of the DNC had given favorable treatment to Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic presidential primary of 2016.  After the Democratic primary, the leader of Wikileaks was interviewed by a Dutch television man; in that interview Julian Assange spoke about the dangers to their sources (whistle-blowers) who give information to Wikileaks.  At about the same time, Assange offered a reward of $20,000 for information concerning the murder of Seth Rich.  But Assange did not directly assert that Seth Rich was the source of the email leaks.  This $20,000 reward followed the reward of $25,000 offered by the Washington DC police.<ref>http://www.jewishomaha.org/jewish-press/2016/seth-conrad-rich/; https://www.facebook.com/kmulka1/friends?pnref=lhc; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3724508/Parents-slain-DNC-staffer-Seth-Rich-ask-help-three-weeks-slain-DC-street.html; http://www.people.com/article/friends-remember-dnc-staffer-seth-rich; http://abcnews.go.com/US/dnc-staffer-killed-wanted-make-difference-family/story?id=40551800; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/10/wikileaks-offers-20000-reward-over-murder-of-democrat-staffer-se/; http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/08/10/assange-implies-murdered-dnc-staffer-was-wikileaks-source.html.</ref>
