US president Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to promote a theory about how Jeffrey Epstein, the financier accused of sex trafficking, died in a federal jail, even as the administration faced questions about why Mr Epstein had not been more closely monitored.  Hours after Mr Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell, having died by suspected suicide, Mr Trump retweeted a post from comedian Terrence Williams linking the Clintons to the death. Mr Epstein “had information on Bill Clinton & now he’s dead,” wrote Williams, a Trump supporter. In an accompanying two-minute video, Williams noted that “for some odd reason, people that have information on the Clintons end up dead.”

There are a number of theories online dating to Bill Clinton’s early days as president, that multiple deaths can be traced to the Clintons and explained by their supposed efforts to cover up wrongdoing. Responding to Mr Trump’s retweets, a spokesman for Bill Clinton hit back saying, “Ridiculous, and of course not true – and Donald Trump knows it.” The spokesman, Angel Urena, added: “Has he triggered the 25th Amendment yet?” The 25th Amendment contains a provision allowing for the removal of a president if he is unable to perform his duties, potentially in the event of mental instability.
