One of the US’s most well-known scientists has warned that Hillary Clinton may have been poisoned by Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Bennet Omalu, the famous pathologist who discovered chronic traumatic encephalopathy in the brains of deceased American football players, made the disturbing suggestion on Twitter.

‘I must advise the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms Clinton’s blood,’ he wrote. ‘It is possible she is being poisoned.’

Then, in a second tweet, he added: ‘I do not trust Mr Putin and Mr Trump. With those two all things are possible.’

I must advice the Clinton campaign to perform toxicologic analysis of Ms. Clinton's blood. It is possible she is being poisoned.

Trump has, in the past, expressed admiration for the Russian president – and his links to the Kremlin have been well documented.

And while Omalu’s warning sounds a little far-fetched – and was treated with more than a bit of scepticism in the replies – Putin has been accused of having his adversaries poisoned in the past.

Most prominently, an inquiry in January implicated Putin in the death of Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB operative who died in London in 2006.

America's 'well-known' scientist has difficulty in mastering spelling. Hillary robots are grasping at straws while poor Hillary is gasping for breath.
