It's called a Noun Phrase Complement Clause. This particular complement clause (there are several types) is a tensed That-clause. They can occur with nouns like rumor or claim or suspicion or fact; essentially these nouns refer to mental activities and the complement clauses refer to the "content" of this mentation (to use the Conduit Metaphor). They are the same kind of complement clause that occurs with verbs or predicate adjectives that refer to mental activities, like I think/believe/doubt/am surprised that John kicked Maurice.
