President Donald Trump no doubt shocked more than a few people on Saturday when he posted a video report citing a number of “mysterious deaths” linked to former President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton.
Trump wrote “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” in the Truth Social post. The clip goes on to ‘document’ a number of deaths and suicides of persons who were either close to or associated with the Clintons.
The video referenced several high-profile deaths linked in public speculation to the Clintons, including John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, former White House Counsel Vince Foster, and former White House intern Mary Mahoney.
In July 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr.—widely seen as a potential rival to Hillary Clinton for the U.S. Senate seat in New York—died in a plane crash.
Mary Mahoney, a former White House intern during the Clinton administration who some believed could have been a key witness during the impeachment proceedings, was fatally shot during a robbery at a Washington, D.C., Starbucks in July 1997.
The video also covers the July 1993 death of White House Counsel Vince Foster, who was found in Fort Marcy Park near the George Washington Parkway in Virginia, in what was ruled an apparent suicide.
In 1998, James McDougal, a key witness for prosecutors in the Whitewater land scandal and a former financial associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton, died of cardiac arrest while serving time at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Worth, Texas, shortly before he was scheduled to testify.
In 2015, former Clinton White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib was found dead following what authorities described as an accidental drowning. Scheib had gone missing while hiking a trail in Taos, New Mexico, and his body was discovered submerged in a mountain drainage area carrying surface runoff.
In July 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in Washington, D.C., while walking home from a bar. Some have speculated that Rich was the source of the leaked Democratic National Committee emails published by WikiLeaks—messages that significantly harmed Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The following month, in August 2016, Shawn Lucas—a Bernie Sanders supporter who served a lawsuit against the DNC alleging it had rigged the primary process in Clinton’s favor—was found dead in his home.
For several years, there have been scores of rumors of the “Clinton body count” — deaths some have deemed as highly suspicious at the time of people who were linked in some way to the former first family — but there has never been hard evidence presented against the Clintons in a court of law that tied them to any of the fatalities.
But the fact that the video clip was posted by the current president and a long-time rival of Hillary Clinton was noteworthy.
Snopes began covering the ‘Clinton body count’ conspiracy theory before the turn of the 21st century, writing in 1998, “Since 1994, various respected news outlets have been confronted with versions of the ‘Clinton Body Count’ list, run their own investigations of a few of the claims, and found nothing to substantiate what they looked into. Those investigations would culminate in yet another story about an oddball conspiracy rumor.”
The last time in recent memory that #ClintonBodyCount trended online was following the reported suicide of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein while in custody in a New York City jail cell.
Democrats and Clinton allies immediately condemned Twitter for allowing the conspiracy to trend, Newsweek reported at the time.
A former security contractor who claimed experience working alongside federal protective teams has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in San Francisco, authorities said. The suspect previously posted photos with public officials, including former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Nation Wood, 25, was arrested Wednesday, one day after police say he shot and killed Samantha Emge, 22, at a residence in the city’s Sunset District, according to authorities. Officers responded to the home around 10:43 p.m. Tuesday and found Emge suffering from a gunshot wound, police said, The New York Post reported.
Emge was transported to a hospital where she later died, authorities said. Investigators collected evidence and took Wood into custody on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter, according to police.
Wood was booked into county jail and remained in custody as of Friday, officials said. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting remains ongoing.
Wood described himself on LinkedIn as a part-time security staffer who worked with protective teams linked to former President Joe Biden beginning in November 2023. His profile states he continued security-related work into 2025, during the administration of President Donald Trump.
His LinkedIn page lists him as an “independent pre-event site security advisor,” providing advance security assessments for events involving high-profile attendees. The profile states he conducted site walkthroughs and coordinated alongside the United States Secret Service.
A spokesperson for the Secret Service said Wood was never employed by the agency. Authorities have not indicated any official affiliation between Wood and federal protective services.
Wood graduated from San Francisco State University in 2024 with a degree in political science and government, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also listed experience working as a property manager at a self-storage facility.
Social media posts show Wood posing with Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, in front of a presidential aircraft during a 2024 event. In the post, Wood referenced assisting with security planning tied to a trip connected to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit held in San Francisco.
Emge, a 2025 graduate of San Francisco State University, worked in interior design, according to her LinkedIn profile. Friends and social media posts indicate she and Wood were in a relationship.
Photos shared online show the two together on multiple occasions, including a trip to Yosemite following her graduation. Friends expressed grief on her social media accounts following news of her death.
Supervisor Alan Wong, who represents the district where the shooting occurred, said early information suggests the incident may not have been intentional. “Early information suggests that this may not have been an intentional act,” Wong said.
Authorities have not released further details about what led to the shooting. The case remains under active investigation.
