I cover national politics for Forbes. Previously, I've written for TIME, Newsweek, the New York Daily News and VICE News. I also launched my own startup, Newsreel, a politics news platform for a young audience.

President Trump promoted a baseless conspiracy theory on Tuesday alleging the Obama administration covered up a plot to stage Osama Bin Laden’s death, a wild accusation that was pushed by Twitter accounts linked to the QAnon conspiracy theory.... [+]Key Facts

On Tuesday afternoon, Trump retweeted an article from an account with a history of promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory alleging “Biden and Obama may have had Seal Team 6 killed” and that Bin Laden may still be alive.

Late Tuesday night, Trump retweeted about the conspiracy theory again, sharing a tweet from a separate QAnon-linked account which linked to a video in which Nick Noe, identified by theas a “conservative personality” and “father of a former Navy SEAL who died in Benghazi,” claims Hillary Clinton and Biden colluded with Iran to arrange for “Obama's trophy kill.”

As of Wednesday morning, the tweet was still active on Twitter, racking up nearly 13,000 retweets and 24,000 ‘likes’. The Biden campaign hit back at Trump for promoting the conspiracy theory, calling the president “unhinged.”

Trump is a sick individual 😱

The depths are so freaking low.

Unhinged & dangerous is this idiot trump. 20 days until he is purged.

What is the basis of you calling it unfounded? It probably is, but wouldn't the President have access to the information precisely to know its veracity?

😒🙄 who the hell thinks this man is fit to be president

Anyone who believes 'God' would send a man with 25 sexual assault allegations against him (several against underage victims) to protect people from sexual predetors, is an idiot, that would be like sending tigers to protect zebras from lions

Forbes is behaving like Biden's right hand.

Biden said he's running for senate

Pretending Biden

'He knows': Trump fixated on 'likely' loss to Biden, per Trump insiderNew reporting shows Trump’s inner circle worried he failed to handle Covid hitting the White House, bungled debates over a final stimulus package before the election, and 'blew' his chance to reset the campaign - raising broader questions of whether he is self-sabotaging. 'Art of the Deal' co-author Tony Schwartz discusses Trump’s penchant for hurting himself, how his approach has coarsened over the years, and the wider potential danger facing the U.S. if Trump loses and tries 'to bring us down with him' before leaving office, in this interview with MSNBC's Ari Melber.
