Trump defends retweeting video suggesting that Clintons had Jeffrey Epstein killed

President Donald Trump is under fire for retweeting a conservative comedian’s video speculating that ex-Democrat power couple Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for the death of billionaire and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Epstein was found dead from apparent suicide in his cell at New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) last weekend, less than three weeks after a failed suicide attempt. He was being held on charges of trafficking underaged girls to be raped by himself and wealthy associates.

The case has been a source of intense curiosity for months, due to the mysteries surrounding Epstein’s private Caribbean retreat, dubbed “Pedophile Island” by locals, as well as to the botched past prosecution and lax punishment for his previous crimes.

After Epstein’s death, Trump retweeted a video from conservative pundit and comedian Terrence Williams speculating that his suicide was actually a murder staged by the former president and failed presidential candidate...

“He had information on the Clintons, and the man ended up dead,” Williams says in the video...

The conspiracy theory stems from the fact that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private plane on dozens of occasions, and that the billionaire had visited the Clinton White House several times, as well as a long-simmering conspiracy theory about the 1993 suicide of White House counsel Vince Foster.
