White House responds after Trump spews shock conspiracy theory about Clinton 'assassinations'
The White House issued new comments on the Jeffrey Epstein case Monday after the president shared a bizarre conspiracy theory online linking Bill and Hillary Clinton to a succession of deaths. Trump posted on the so-called 'Clinton body count' conspiracy Saturday, blasting a video to his millions of followers without further explanation. The former secretary of state is his defeated 2016 election rival. The 2016 video runs through a series of deaths of people who knew or worked with the Clintons, including Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who was shot near his D.C. home that year. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt heard a reference to the conspiracy theory when she called on a reporter from the 'new media' seat the White House has established. Her questioner, Liam Cosgrove of the conservative site Zero Hedge, appeared to give credence to the theory and asked about 'the strange number of suicides that had seem that happen in Clinton circles,' then brought up yet another conspiracy. This one related to Mark Middleton, a former Clinton White House aide linked to Jeffrey Epstein who was found dead on an Arkansas ranch after killing himself with a shotgun and hanging himself from a tree. 'I have no idea how somebody commits suicide that way,' said Cosgrove, before asking Leavitt about the Jeffrey Epstein case, amid pressure on the Trump administration to release additional information. He also read a Washington Post headline on Trump's move stating that 'Trump peddles false conspiracy theories tying Clintons to several deaths.' 'I know the Attorney General has committed to releasing those files. I would defer you to the Department of Justice on her timeline, but when she has made a promise in the past, she has kept it, and I'm certain that she will in this case as well,' said Leavitt. Epstein had ties to both Bill Clinton and Trump (flight logs indicated Clinton flew on his infamous plane). Authorities said Epstein hanged himself in his prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News on Sunday that Epstein's death was a suicide. Trump shared the shocking conspiracy theory linking Bill and Hillary Clinton to a series of high-profile deaths on his Truth Social account on Saturday accusing the powerful political couple of eliminating several enemies and potential threats over the decades. Titled 'THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE', the footage attempts to connect the former First Lady and her husband President Bill Clinton, to a string of deaths including those of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, and former White House lawyer Vince Foster. Trump didn't offer any comment of his own to accompany the bizarre post. The controversial footage pushes the 'Clinton body count' conspiracy theory that has circulated since the 1990s. The video shockingly claims that Hillary Clinton was somehow involved in JFK Jr.'s fatal 1999 plane crash because he was allegedly a 'frontrunner' for the New York Senate seat she would later win. 'Remember John F Kennedy Jr? He was declared the front runner for the New York Senate seat back in 1999 days later, his plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, and his rival Hillary Clinton was elected senator,' the video begins. In another explosive allegation, the video claims the Clintons orchestrated the murder of Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern who worked under Bill Clinton's administration in 1997. 'Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern. She knew enough of the inner workings of Bill's sexual advancements to be a star witness during the Clinton impeachment trials,' the narrator says. 'She was brutally executed at a Starbucks Tuesday in 1997.' The video also revisits questions about Vince Foster, the deputy White House counsel who died by suicide in 1993. 'In 1993 White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy park near DC, he supposedly killed himself, and among a lengthy list of potential foul play, the bullet was never found.' The clip then discusses James McDougal, key witness for White House prosecutors. 'He was serving his three year sentence for bank fraud at the Fort Worth Federal Medical Center in Texas, and just before he was to give the testimony before the grand jury. McDougall suffered a heart attack in solitary confinement in 2015.' 'Walter Scheib, a White House Chef hired under Bill Clinton, joined the list. His body was found at the bottom of a river nearly two miles from the base of the trail he was reportedly hiking. An autopsy determined that Scheib death was accidental drowning, but he might have known too much.' The video concludes with the most recent conspiracy death of 27-year-old Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich, who was shot and killed in DC in 2016. 'There is speculation that he was the source of the controversial leaked emails allegedly sent by DNC staffers, and that he may have been murdered in retaliation. Then Sean Lucas the lead eternity in a fraud case against the DNC was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on August, 2. His death was reported classified, pending the results of an autopsy.' The debunked Seth Rich conspiracy claimed he was the source of leaked emails. The U.S. intelligence community assessed that the Kremlin oversaw a hacking operation that gave stolen DNC emails to Wikileaks. The video's origin is unclear, but the explosive claims it contains have been repeatedly debunked by fact-checkers over decades. In 2019, Trump retweeted conspiracy theories linking his political enemies Bill and Hillary Clinton to Jeffrey Epstein's suicide. Trump's Twitter feed included a link to a breaking news site which claims that unsealed court documents revealed 'top Democrats, including Bill Clinton, took private trips to Jeffrey Epstein's 'pedophilia island'.' The president also retweeted a post from Terrence K. Williams, an actor and comedian who was known for his conservative views. Williams tweeted: 'Died of SUICIDE on 24/7 SUICIDE WATCH ? Yeah right! How does that happen…[Epstein] had information on Bill Clinton & now he's dead. 'I see #TrumpBodyCount trending but we know who did this!'

Deranged Trump Boosts Bonkers Clinton Kill List Conspiracy
President Donald Trump boosted a wild conspiracy theory that accuses the Clinton family of murdering seven people. Trump posted the clip—with the title 'THE VIDEO HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE'—to Truth Social on Saturday. The president offered no commentary of his own on the video. The video attempts to link two of Trump's most dire political rivals, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, former White House lawyer Vince Foster, and others. JFK Jr. died in a plane crash in 1999. The video claims that, when he died, Kennedy was 'frontrunner' for a New York Senate seat that Hillary Clinton would go on to fill, insinuating that she somehow orchestrated his death. However, Kennedy had already decided he was not going to run, according to a 2019 biography. The video also alleges that the Clintons were involved in the murder of Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern under Bill Clinton, in 1997. Mahoney was gunned down at the Starbucks where she worked by a robber who also shot two other staff members before fleeing. The killer was eventually apprehended and pleaded guilty. Foster, the one-time deputy counsel for Bill Clinton's White House, died by suicide in 1993. Five different investigations determined that there was nothing suspicious about his death. Rich's murder in 2016 remains unsolved, but investigators believe it was the result of a botched robbery. There is no evidence that the Clintons—or any other Democrat—played a role. For each of the deaths highlighted in the video, investigations have determined that they were caused by accidents, suicide, or a killer with no link to the Clintons. The video, which has often circulated on social media, pushes a theory (dubbed 'The Clinton Body Bags') that has been repudiated by fact-checkers since the '90s. The provenance of the video is unclear. The White House, the Clinton Foundation, and representatives for Bill Clinton did not immediately return the Daily Beast's requests for comment. Trump beat Hillary Clinton for the presidency in 2016. She and her husband have remained among the president's favorite public figures to disparage. He long accused the couple of being corrupt criminals. On the campaign trail in 2016, Trump insinuated that they could have played a role in Foster's death.
