Former President Donald Trump raised eyebrows over the weekend after posting a video on Truth Social that referenced a series of controversial and widely speculated deaths linked to former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Trump captioned the post: “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See,” which features a compilation of cases that have long circulated online as part of conspiracy theories involving individuals with ties to the Clinton family.
Highlighted Cases in the Video
The video revisits the deaths of several well-known figures, including:
-
John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a 1999 plane crash. The video notes that JFK Jr. was seen by some as a potential political rival to Hillary Clinton for the New York Senate seat at the time.
-
Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer who was fatally shot in 2016 in Washington, D.C. His death has become the subject of speculation regarding the leak of internal DNC emails during the 2016 presidential election.
-
Vince Foster, a White House Counsel during the Clinton administration who died by suicide in 1993, according to official investigations. Conspiracy theories have surrounded his death for decades.
-
Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern who was shot and killed during a robbery at a coffee shop in D.C. in 1997. Some theorists claim her death may have been politically motivated, though authorities concluded it was a robbery gone wrong.
-
James McDougal, a figure involved in the Whitewater land controversy and a former Clinton business associate. He died of cardiac arrest while in federal custody in 1998.
-
Walter Scheib, former White House Executive Chef, was found drowned in 2015 in a New Mexico hiking area after being reported missing. Authorities determined it was an accidental death.
-
Shawn Lucas, a process server who delivered a lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee in 2016 over alleged bias during the Democratic primary. Lucas died suddenly a month after the suit was served, fueling further speculation online.
Public Reaction and Background
These deaths have often been referenced by critics of the Clintons, despite repeated official investigations ruling many of them as accidents or unrelated to foul play. Trump’s reposting of the video reignites debates surrounding the claims and the ongoing polarization of American politics.
While the former president offered no direct accusations in the video or accompanying post, the content’s tone and its listing of individuals with ties to the Clintons appear intended to suggest a deeper narrative.
To date, no conclusive evidence has linked the Clinton family to any of the deaths referenced in the video, and numerous fact-checking organizations have dismissed the claims as unsubstantiated.
As of now, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton has publicly responded to Trump’s post.
