On Saturday, former President Donald Trump caused a stir by sharing a video on Truth Social titled “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See.” The video highlights a series of so-called “mysterious deaths” of individuals allegedly connected to former President Bill Clinton and former First Lady Hillary Clinton. Trump’s post reignited interest in long-standing conspiracy theories about the Clintons.
The video referenced several high-profile deaths that have been part of public speculation, including John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a 1999 plane crash and was once considered a potential political rival to Hillary Clinton. Also mentioned were former White House intern Mary Mahoney, murdered in a D.C. Starbucks in 1997, and Vince Foster, White House Counsel found dead in 1993 in what was officially ruled a suicide.
Additional cases included James McDougal, a key Whitewater witness who died of cardiac arrest while in federal custody in 1998, and Walter Scheib, the former White House chef found dead after an apparent hiking accident in 2015. The 2016 deaths of DNC staffer Seth Rich and Bernie Sanders supporter Shawn Lucas were also noted, both of which fueled online conspiracy discussions due to their political timing.
Despite years of public speculation, no credible evidence has ever linked the Clintons to these deaths. Fact-checking sites like Snopes have investigated many of the claims since the 1990s and consistently found no substantiation. Major media outlets have also debunked the so-called “Clinton Body Count” narrative.
Still, Trump’s promotion of the video is significant, especially given his history as a political rival of Hillary Clinton. The resurgence of such conspiracy theories continues to stir controversy, especially when amplified by high-profile political figures.
