Report: Shotgun found 30 feet from body of Epstein-linked Clinton aide, whose death is ruled a suicide

A shotgun was found about 30 feet from the body of Mark Middleton, a top adviser to Bill Clinton and his death last May — where he was hanged from a tree with an electrical wire around his neck and a shotgun blast. Chest – Declared suicide.

Middleton has been a friend of Clinton since their Arkansas days and joined her presidential campaign early on, becoming a special assistant to Chief of Staff Mac McClarty in 1993.

Middleton signed convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to the White House on several occasions. He met with Epstein at the White House at least three times around 1993 and 1994, the Daily Beast reported, citing an unnamed source with knowledge of the situation.

The outlet describes him as a “shadow figure in the Clinton administration” who later refused to testify in a trial involving foreign donations to Clinton’s re-election campaign, where several other individuals were later convicted.

Initial reports released on Middleton’s death made no mention of a shotgun, but the person who discovered the body could see “a gunshot wound to his chest and an extension cord knotted around his neck. And it was attached directly to the limb above him.

Following that report, the Daily Mail obtained documents stating that Stoeger’s 12-gauge Koch gun was in fact “found on the ground 30 feet from Middleton’s body.”

A former Clinton aide “took a lot of time to make sure her suicide attempt was successful,” the paper reported.

After texting his wife that he had “found a good place to lie down in the sun,” Middleton “tied an electric wire around his neck and then shot himself, so that if the explosion didn’t kill him the wire would fall when he fell. .”

Extra credit for being so thorough about your suicide. Why anyone would think a shotgun blast to the chest wouldn’t get the job done and not have the foresight to devise a backup plan is a mystery.

“It is believed that Mr. Middleton then took the gun and placed the barrel against his chest and then reached with his left hand and placed his first finger on the first trigger,” according to the documents.

“Mr. Middleton is then believed to have pulled the trigger on the holster of the gun (sic) to discharge it and hit him in the chest and then the extension cord tightened causing him to fall off the bench and cut off his breathing.”

As the shotgun ricocheted 30 feet away from his body, findings said this was “due to recoil from the muzzle and the height and angle of the ground”.

Clinton faced an affair with a sex offender

Doug Band, another former top aide to Bill Clinton, made shocking allegations in a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair, including claims that the former president took a trip to Epstein’s famous private island in 2003.

According to a Fox News analysis Clinton traveled on Epstein’s jet – the ‘Lolita Express’ – 26 separate times.

Other analysis of the flight logs led to fewer travel claims, but it cannot be denied that they traveled on the plane.

Epstein was convicted in 2008 of procuring a girl under the age of 18 for prostitution and was facing sex trafficking charges until his death by suicide in a Manhattan prison in 2019.

Months ago, Clinton was confronted by reporters asking about her relationship with Epstein, prompting an awkward response as aides shunned the former president.

“Mr. Clinton, any comment on your alleged affair with Jeffrey Epstein? asked the reporter.

Clinton spokeswoman Angel Urena’s expression quickly changed to an uneasy smile, but it took a moment for the former president to realize what she was hearing.

“I think the evidence is clear,” Clinton laughed, stepping back when Urena tried to move him.

The coroner ruled Middleton’s death a suicide, noting a history of depression.

In 1993, Vince Foster, deputy White House counsel to the Clintons, committed suicide after a long bout with depression. His body was found in Fort Marcy Park, just miles from the White House.
