Investigator Ken Starr admitted this week that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was directly linked to Vince Foster’s mysterious death in 1993.
However, Starr left the disturbing findings off his final report because he wanted to “spare” Hillary.
Starr confessed last week that he intentionally omitted his findings to New York Times bestselling author Ronald Kessler, according to reports.
Kessler, a former investigative reporter for The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, interviewed Starr during the 2019 Annapolis Book Festival, a major publishing tradeshow held on Apr. 6 in Maryland.
FBI agents investigating Foster’s sudden suicide linked his death back to a raucus meeting between him and Hillary, Kessler told The Daily Mail.
“But for what were then unexplained reasons, Starr elected to conceal the FBI’s finding that Hillary’s tirade triggered Foster’s suicide when he wrote his final report on the matter,” Kessler wrote.
When asked why he omitted the findings, “Starr admitted he ‘did not want to inflict further pain’ on Hillary by revealing her humiliation of Foster a week before he took his own life pushed him over the edge,” Kessler said.
Before his sudden death, insiders said Hillary had been blaming Foster for all the problems her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was facing at the time.
“You’re not protecting us,” former FBI agent Jim Clemente quoted Hillary yelling at Foster, her longtime friend. ”You have failed us!”
A week later, Foster’s body was found by the side of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.
He died of a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities allege the gunshot was self-inflicted, although investigators also found evidence of a second small caliber wound to his neck, according to a 31-page memo written by Ken Starr’s lead prosecutor, Miguel Rodriguez. The document was discovered in the National Archives by Kessler during his initial research.
In 2016, The Horn News reported that the files on Foster’s death in the National Archives disappeared without explanation during former President Barack Obama’s administration.
The bombshell link between Hillary and Foster is just the latest reveal from Starr.
In 2018, Starr wrote that he’d considered charging Hillary with perjury because she’d lied “hundreds of times” to investigators during the probe into Foster’s possible murder.
“I was upset over Mrs. Clinton’s performance [during her deposition], and was even considering bringing the matter before the Washington grand jury for possible indictment on perjury,” Starr wrote in his 2018 tell-all book, “Contempt: A Memoir of the Clinton Investigation.”
“In the space of three hours, she claimed, by our count, over a hundred times that she ‘did not recall’ or ‘did not remember,’” Starr wrote. “This suggested outright mendacity. To be sure, human memory is notoriously fallible, but her strained performance struck us as preposterous.”
