Original Note:
The Oklahoma City bombing & the Whitewater scandal are unrelated events. The implication that the bombing was orchestrated to destroy documents related to Hillary Clinton's indictment is a conspiracy theory. The FBI says no documents about the case were destroyed. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/21/fact-check-no-link-between-whitewater-scandal-and-oklahoma-bombing-hillary-clinton/11700046002/ https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/1995-oklahoma-city-bombing-not-linked-hillary-clinton-whitewater-scandal-2024-01-17/ https://www.factcheck.org/2019/03/baseless-oklahoma-city-bombing-conspiracy-theory/ https://www.cnn.com/2013/09/18/us/oklahoma-city-bombing-fast-facts/index.html https://www.britannica.com/event/Oklahoma-City-bombing
