In 2001, Joe Scarborough abruptly resigned from Congress just six months after being re-elected, amid swirling rumors of an affair with an intern.

Shortly after, the body of intern Lori Klausutis was discovered in his office.

Despite the suspicious circumstances, her death was officially ruled an accident.

Dr. Michael Berkland initially stated that the nature of Lori Klausutis’s head trauma did not indicate an accidental death but later changed his conclusion, claiming she fainted due to a heart condition and struck her head on a desk.
