A top political adviser to a Democratic billionaire has issued an apology for suggesting a conspiracy theory regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The adviser, Dmitri Mehlhorn, expressed regret for sending an email without consulting his team, which speculated that the incident could have been a false-flag operation.
In his statement, Mehlhorn acknowledged his mistake and publicly apologized for allowing his words to detract from the central fact that political violence resulted in the loss of an innocent American life. He emphasized the importance of uniting in condemnation of such violence without reservation, stating that any other topic is a distraction.
