What does Wikipedia have to say about the “Denver Guardian”…? Denver Guardian is a fake news website, the domain for which was first registered in July 2016.

It is operated by Justin Coler, the founder and CEO of Disinfomedia. It is known for a popular fake story about Hillary Clinton that was posted on the site on November 5, 2016, three days before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, which Clinton lost. The story, entitled "FBI Agent Suspected In Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead In Apparent Murder-Suicide," alleged that an FBI agent investigating Clinton had been found dead in a Maryland house fire. The story was shared on Facebook more than half a million times despite being completely false.
