Vince Foster’s Sister Slams Trump for Reviving 1990s Conspiracy Theories

HeadlineMay 27, 2016

This comes as the sister of Vince Foster, a White House aide to President Bill Clinton who died in 1993, has written a scathing criticism of Donald Trump, after Trump revived conspiracy theories about Foster’s death earlier this week. Vince Foster committed suicide in 1993 after a struggle with depression. Yet, his death was the subject of multiple right-wing conspiracies at the time blaming Hillary Clinton for Foster’s death. Trump revived these theories in an interview with The Washington Post earlier this week, calling Foster’s death “very fishy.” In an op-ed published by the Post Thursday, Sheila Foster Anthony called Trump’s comments “beyond contempt,” writing, “This is scurrilous enough coming from right-wing political operatives … How could this be coming from the presumptive Republican nominee for president?”
