Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton implied Hillary Clinton was involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s death by suicide.
Patton reacted to the news of Epstein’s death on Instagram, posting a screenshot of an article about Epstein’s suicide with the caption, “Hillary’d!!”
“P.S. Let me know when I’m supposed to feel badly about this … #VinceFosterPartTwo,” Patton added. Patton’s hashtag refers to Vince Foster, who served as deputy White House counsel under former President Bill Clinton. Foster died by suicide in 1993.

In June 2017, the Trump administration tapped Patton to be one of HUD’s 10 regional directors. Patton’s region covers New York and New Jersey and is one of the department’s largest areas.
Patton has worked with the Trump family for roughly a decade, beginning in 2009 as Eric Trump’s primary aide and vice president of the Eric Trump Foundation, a charity organization.
