WASHINGTON, DC: It looks like President Donald Trump is pushing a well-known conspiracy theory that accuses Bill and Hillary Clinton of being tied to not one, but seven deaths.

On Saturday, May 17, the POTUS posted a video titled “the video Hillary Clinton does not want you to see” to his Truth Social account. The clip was loaded with wild accusations.



 

The video attempted to link the Clintons to a range of high-profile deaths over the years, including John F Kennedy Jr, DNC staffer Seth Rich, White House lawyer Vince Foster, and even former White House intern Mary Mahoney. 

The overarching theme was that Bill and Hillary were somehow involved in each of these deaths despite a mountain of investigations saying otherwise.

Donald Trump ties deaths of JFK Jr, Seth Rich and Vince Foster to the Clintons

First up in the video’s unfounded claims is John F Kennedy Jr, who died in a tragic plane crash back in 1999. The video alleges that JFK Jr was actually the “frontrunner” for the New York Senate seat Hillary Clinton later filled, implying she had something to gain from his untimely death. 

But there's a problem with that theory. Kennedy had reportedly already decided not to run, according to a 2019 biography.

Then there’s Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern who was murdered in 1997 during a robbery at a Starbucks. The video suggests foul play, but the facts don’t line up. The shooter, who also shot two other staff members, was eventually caught and pleaded guilty to the crime.

The clip also brings up Vince Foster, who died by suicide in 1993 while serving as deputy counsel in the Clinton White House. Despite five separate investigations that confirmed Foster’s death was a suicide, conspiracy theories have long surrounded the case, and Trump has dabbled in them before.

He told The Washington Post in 2016, “Foster had intimate knowledge of what was going on. He knew everything that was going on, and then all of a sudden, he committed suicide.”

Trump then said, “I don’t know enough to really discuss it,” but added, “I will say there are people who continue to bring it up because they think it was absolutely a murder.”

Late DNC staffer Seth Rich was also mentioned in the video. Rich was shot and killed in Washington, DC, in 2016, in what authorities believe was a botched robbery.

His murder remains unsolved, but there’s no evidence whatsoever linking the Clintons to the crime.



 

'Clinton body bags' theory resurfaces

The video Donald Trump shared falls squarely into the infamous “Clinton Body Bags” conspiracy theory, which reportedly has been debunked by fact-checkers since the 1990s.

The latest version, however, is particularly bold since it strings together a long list of tragedies and tries to paint the Clintons as puppet masters behind each one.

Investigations have already determined these deaths were caused by accidents, suicide, or killers with no political links, but the video leans into speculation.

The exact source of the clip remains murky. Neither the White House, the Clinton Foundation, nor Bill Clinton’s representatives have responded to The Daily Beast’s inquiries.

It’s no secret that the Clintons have long been Trump’s favorite targets. After defeating Hillary in the 2016 election, he’s made a habit of slamming the couple whenever he can.

Hillary Clinton recently attacked Donald Trump, but it backfired 

Interestingly, Donald Trump's latest move comes shortly after Hillary Clinton threw a jab of her own.

“No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious,” she posted on X (formerly Twitter), referring to recent reports that Qatar may gift Trump a $400 million Boeing 747-8 luxury jet.



 

But critics were quick to bring up Hillary’s own murky dealings with foreign money.

Some pointed to Peter Schweizer’s 2015 bestseller, 'Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich'.

The book dives into the Clinton Foundation’s alleged pay-for-play past, especially during Hillary’s time as Secretary of State.

Plenty of eyebrows were raised by its findings, including reports by The New York Times and the New York magazine that the Clintons raked in at least $3.4 million from 18 speeches funded by Keystone Pipeline banks.

Even more damning were claims that the Clinton Foundation “strong-armed” a charity watchdog group, and that Qatar quietly handed over $1 million to the foundation while Hillary was still in office—a fact confirmed by Reuters.
