Deadline reports:
As Kara Swisher’s New York Times column was drawing attention on Tuesday, Trump tweeted at 8:53 AM ET, “The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough.” It was then deleted. About a half hour later, he continued to present the circumstances surrounding Klausutis’ death as a mystery. Last week, when Trump tweeted about Klausutis’ death, Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough’s wife, called on Twitter’s Dorsey to take action, calling the president’s tweet “sick.”
The opening of a Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough was not a Donald Trump original thought, this has been going on for years, long before I joined the chorus. In 2016 when Joe & his wacky future ex-wife, Mika, would endlessly interview me, I would always be thinking….

….about whether or not Joe could have done such a horrible thing? Maybe or maybe not, but I find Joe to be a total Nut Job, and I knew him well, far better than most. So many unanswered & obvious questions, but I won’t bring them up now! Law enforcement eventually will?
