Klausutis, wrote in a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
Despite the global pandemic and economic crisis that has followed, Trump has paid a lot of attention in recent days to Klausutis’s death nearly two decades ago. Over the weekend, he encouraged “forensic geniuses” to “keep digging” and suggested that Klausutis was having an affair with Scarborough at the time of her death. On Tuesday, after Scarborough read her husband’s letter on MSNBC, Trump returned to the subject.
“I have mourned my wife every day since her passing. I have tried to honor her memory and our marriage. As her husband, I feel that one of my marital obligations is to protect her memory as I would have protected her in life. There has been a constant barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, innuendo and conspiracy theories since the day she died. I realize that may sound like an exaggeration, unfortunately it is the verifiable truth. Because of this, I have struggled to move forward with my life.
