President Donald Trump no doubt shocked more than a few people on Saturday when he posted a video report citing a number of “mysterious deaths” linked to former President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton.
Trump wrote “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” in the Truth Social post. The clip goes on to ‘document’ a number of deaths and suicides of persons who were either close to or associated with the Clintons.
The video referenced several high-profile deaths linked in public speculation to the Clintons, including John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, former White House Counsel Vince Foster, and former White House intern Mary Mahoney.
In July 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr.—widely seen as a potential rival to Hillary Clinton for the U.S. Senate seat in New York—died in a plane crash.
Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern during the Clinton administration who some believed could have been a key witness during the impeachment proceedings, was fatally shot during a robbery at a Washington, D.C., Starbucks in July 1997.
The video also covers the July 1993 death of White House Counsel Vince Foster, who was found in Fort Marcy Park near the George Washington Parkway in Virginia, in what was ruled an apparent suicide.
In 1998, James McDougal, a key witness for prosecutors in the Whitewater land scandal and a former financial associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton, died of cardiac arrest while serving time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Worth, Texas, shortly before he was scheduled to testify.
In 2015, former Clinton White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib was found dead following what authorities described as an accidental drowning. Scheib had gone missing while hiking a trail in Taos, New Mexico, and his body was discovered submerged in a mountain drainage area carrying surface runoff.
In July 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., while walking home from a bar. Some have speculated that Rich was the source of the leaked Democratic National Committee emails published by WikiLeaks—messages that significantly harmed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
