Escalates baseless conspiracy that Joe Scarborough murdered aide Lori Klausutis

Across May 2020, President Trump repeatedly promoted a debunked conspiracy theory implying that MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was involved in the 2001 death of Lori Klausutis, a former aide who died accidentally after collapsing from an undiagnosed heart condition and striking her head. The medical examiner had ruled the death accidental. On May 24 Trump tweeted a fresh insinuation about her death, following a May 12 post asking whether Scarborough 'got away with murder.' On May 26 Klausutis's widower, Timothy Klausutis, publicly asked Twitter to delete the tweets, writing that Trump had taken 'the memory of my dead wife' and 'perverted it for perceived political gain'; Trump continued the attacks after the plea.
