Sean Hannity resurrects DNC conspiracy theory, advertiser returns under pressure. Almost a week after saying he was dropping an investigation into the death of a former DNC staffer due to the pleas of his parents,  Sean Hannity resurrected the story on Tuesday night in the return to his Fox News show.“I can report, I am making progress,” Hannity said. We will have a lot more coming probably sooner than later.”Last week, after losing several advertisers, Hannity agreed “for now” to stop pushing the unproven conspiracy theory alleging that former DNC staffer Seth Rich was killed for providing thousands of internal emails to Wikileaks. Hannity also defended his continued pursuit of the story Wednesday afternoon on Twitter, labeling those who don't agree with his take "fake news distributors."We are in search of the identity of the DNC leaker (s), don't get distracted ​by the mainstream media fake news distributors.— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) May 3.

Zimmerman’s report on Rich's murder cited a "federal source" that claimed to see a "FBI forensic report" that allegedly detailed communications between Rich and Wikileaks. FBI officials told ABC News that the bureau is not investigating Rich's murder, which continues to be handled by the D. C. Metropolitan Police Department.

He didn’t have access to DNC emails, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee emails, John Podesta’s emails or Hillary Clinton’s emails. That simply wasn’t his job."Despite all that, Hannity appears to have no intention of dropping the story. He continues to be friendly online with internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom, who has yet to provide the evidence about Rich he claims to possess.

It’s time for Hannity and his allies to stand down, permanently, and relegate this story to the place where it belongs — right next to UFO documentaries, flat- earth videos, and 'proof' that NASA faked the moon landing."Despite the controversial story, at least one advertiser is returning to Hannity. Financial services firm USAA, which pulled its ads after left- leaning media watchdog Media Matters shared a list of companies that currently advertise on the show, is reinstating its advertising following a backlash from many of the veterans and active duty military members the company serves.“We heard concerns from many members who watch and listen to these programs,” USAA said in a statement.
