Titled Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America by the New York Times, Clinton believed that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians, planning a secret plot to poison her via a handshake.
“Democrats found themselves almost perpetually disoriented by autumn. During preparations for the third debate, Clinton’s team was disrupted by a warning from the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein, who said he had been told that Russians might try to poison Clinton through a handshake with Trump, to inflict a dramatic health episode during the debate,” author Maggie Haberman wrote.
The alleged threat came from Richard Blum, the wealthy husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, claiming that the Russians wanted Clinton poisoned so that it would “inflict a dramatic health episode during the debate.”
Although Clinton did not take the warning “seriously,” Ron Klain, now President Joe Biden’s chief of staff, “wondered how Trump would poison Clinton but not himself.”
