Man who is investigating the murder of Seth Rich was assaulted and pepper sprayed in his driveway by masked man

Louise Boyle reports at the Daily Mail,

A Republican lobbyist currently supporting a Trump aide charged over the Russia probe told Wednesday how he was pepper sprayed and punched by a masked man in his driveway.

Jack Burkman told DailyMail.com he was doused in the face with spray and struck on the head by an unknown assailant who pulled up in a black SUV outside his home at 7:25pm on Tuesday, in what he said was a ‘professional hit’.

The attacker then sped off. The lobbyist suffered burns to his face following the attack.

Burkman hosted a fundraiser last month for Rick Gates, 45, a long-time business associate and protégé of Paul Manafort, the man who ran Trump’s presidential campaign for several months in 2016 and is also charged by Mueller.

He also launched his own investigation into the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, whose death in 2016 has become the focus of conspiracy theories.
