‘Concussion’ pathologist says Clinton may have been poisoned

The forensic pathologist portrayed by Will Smith in the movie “Concussion” says Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned and that this could have led to her collapse on Sunday after a 9/11 memorial service.

The Washington Post first reported on the comments on Twitter by Bennet Omalu, a forensic pathologist who came to prominence after his discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease found in those who have had a severe blow or repeated blows to the head.

I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton’s blood. It is possible she is being poisoned.

Asked by those responding who could think to poison Clinton, Omulu tweeted this:

I do not trust Mr. Putin and Mr. Trump. With those two all things are possible.

The Post didn’t dismiss Omulu outright, though it did note the claims were greeted with skepticism from some on Twitter.

It also noted that Putin was implicated by a British investigation into the poisoning death of a former KGB operative in London named Alexander Litvinenko.

The Hill has reached out to Dr. Omulu for further comment.
