President Trump took aim at MSNBC's Joe Scarborough over a death that occurred at Scarborough's Florida office when he was a member of Congress. Investigate!”The president appeared to be referring to the 2001 death of Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old aide who worked for Scarborough at the time, when he represented Florida’s 1st congressional district. The circumstances of Klausutis’s death on July 20, 2001, have prompted conspiracy theories — some of which appear to persist. From 1994 through 2001, Scarborough served as a Republican congressman. Klausutis worked on his staff the last two years he was in office, according to the Tampa Bay Times; before her death, Scarborough had announced that he was leaving Congress.
