Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign got a bizarre warning about a potential Russian attempt to poison her during her third debate with Donald Trump – and her team reportedly looked into it.
The purported threat came in October 2016 from Richard Blum, the wealthy husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee, although its sourcing would later be revealed to be extremely thin, in a strange episode recounted in Maggie Haberman's new book, Confidence Man. Blum died in February.
'During preparations for the third debate, Hillary Clinton’s team was disrupted by a warning from the husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), 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,' Haberman writes.
