Donald Trump boosts conspiracy theory about Jeffrey Epstein death-Bill Clinton link
Hindustan TimesPresident Donald Trump retweeted an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that former President Bill Clinton was in some way responsible for the death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, hours after reports of the financier’s jail-house suicide. US president Donald Trump on Saturday retweeted a post by Terrence Williams who said Epstein “had information on Bill Clinton.” The president on Saturday retweeted a post by comedian and Trump backer Terrence Williams who said Epstein “had information on Bill Clinton” and was now dead. Williams is part of a troupe called the Deplorables, which bills itself as “an uproarious comedy show for conservative thinkers” known for “unabashedly mocking liberals.” Trump, who’s spending the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, also retweeted a post that referenced a claim by Epstein accuser Virginia Guiffre that Clinton visited the private island owned by his one-time donor. The president said he’d thrown Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club in West Palm Beach, Florida, and that he’d never visited Epstein’s Little St. James Island in the Caribbean, a place that locals call “Pedophile Island” and “Orgy Island.” In July, Alexander Acosta -- who served as Trump’s Secretary of Labor -- resigned amid heightened scrutiny of his handling of earlier sexual misconduct charges against Epstein while serving as a US attorney in Florida.
