Lori Klausutis was an intern for Joe Scarborough. She was found dead at her desk aged 28 at around 8 a.m. by a couple who came to discuss a work permit issue. An autopsy noted that she had a hairline skull fracture, but concluded that she died of accidental death after an undiagnosed heart issue caused her to lose consciousness and hit her head on the desk.[1] Not everyone was satisfied that this was a case of accidental death, and Donald Trump used Twitter in 2017Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
"A 28-year-old office worker for U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough was found dead Friday in the congressman’s district office. Preliminary findings from the medical examiner’s office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide, said Police Chief Steve Hogue. Authorities identified the woman as Lori Klausutis of Niceville. She had worked for Scarborough since May 1999, said Mick Serrano, press secretary for the congressman."[2]
A month later, a medical examiner concluded that Klausutis had been feeling unwell and had died after heart problems caused her to fall and hit her head on the desk. No signs of foul play. Case closed.[2]
Contents
Concerns
"The mainstream press largely ignored the case, but our review of several investigative reports indicates the official finding is highly questionable".[3][4][5]
Anxiety?
Keith Mann noted in August 2019 that "The police report said there were two people who stopped by Scarborough’s office that day and saw Lori before she died. They both said that Klausutis told them she was “anxious and did not feel quite right.”"[6]
"Health conditions"?
Scarborough’s press secretary, Miguel Serrano "also stated that Klausutis had known of prior “health conditions” but didn’t provide specifics when questioned. Now Serrano said this, but according to her family she had no health condition. So why would Serrano say she did? But her own family is saying she didn’t?"[7]
Later References
Since his election to the US Presidency, Donald Trmup has made multiple references to the case of Lori Klausutis.
Trump's 2017 Tweet
In November 2017, US President Donald Trump tweeted: So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate! [8]
This sparked further reporting by the commercially-controlled media, some of which used the phrase "conspiracy theory".[7][9] The Washington Post headlined its piece Trump suggested the 2001 death of a Joe Scarborough aide is an ‘unsolved mystery.’ It isn’t..[10]
