The Death of Vince Foster, Clinton White House Lawyer

On July 20, 1993, Vince Foster was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in the head in Fort Marcy Park, McLean, Virginia. His untimely passing was the highest ranking government official's death since President John Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Foster's mysterious death sparked a firestorm of controversy that engulfed the nation. Was it murder or suicide? The charges leveled against Hillary and Bill Clinton were serious: Foster knew too much. They had killed him. Clinton staffers removed evidence from his office. Must be a cover-up. Investigators never found the fatal bullet. It's a conspiracy. On and on it went. But who was right? Using new information exclusively obtained from the last person who officially saw Foster alive in the White House, and supported by five official investigations that relied on the "available evidence," investigative journalist Marinka Peschmann's findings lead to a terrible conclusion--both sides were wrong.
