Death of Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law Angela Chao under ‘criminal investigation’ weeks after Texas crash

The death of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s billionaire sister-in-law is being investigated as a crime weeks after her body was pulled from her submerged car in Texas.

Angela Chao, 50, was found dead in her sinking vehicle in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, on Feb. 11.

“Although the preliminary investigation indicated this was an unfortunate accident, the Sheriff’s Office is still investigating this accident as a criminal matter until they have sufficient evidence to rule out criminal activity,” the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Thursday letter to state Attorney General Ken Paxton, according to CNBC.

“This incident was not a typical accident,” the agency added.

First responders spent more than an hour trying to get Chao, CEO of bulk dry shipping giant Foremost Group, out of her vehicle, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

Rescuers stood on top of her car while they tried to break in, the outlet said.

“The deputies were in the water standing on what they believed was the vehicle, trying to gain access to the possible victim inside the vehicle,” fire Lt. Royce Penshorn in the report.

A two-man rescue crew eventually pulled Chao from the car around 12:56 a.m., and EMS responders attempted to resuscitate her for 43 minutes to no avail.

The ranch where Chao died is owned by a corporation connected to her husband, Jim Breyer.

So McConnell is 82 y/o and is worth $40 million.
His wife’s sister was a billionaire.
Why is the asshat still working?

I know, greedy & power-hungry sociopath...

JUST IN: Texas Police are investigating the death of Senator Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law as a *criminal* investigation, say her death was not a “typical accident.”

Blanco County Sheriff’s Office has sent a letter to Texas AG Ken Paxton after Angela Chao was found dead on February 11 after midnight when her car was pulled out of a pond.

“This incident was not a typical accident,” said Blanco County Sheriff’s Office to Paxton.

“Releasing the reports, videos and other information prior to the completion of the investigation would interfere with the investigation and possible prosecution of this matter.”

Chao was the CEO of shipping company Foremost Group.

Her car was found in a pond on a ranch owned by a “corporate entity” connected to her husband, about 40 miles from Austin. (CNBC)

McConnell seems to have gotten the message, announcing his retirement within a couple of weeks of her death. Reminds me how they brought Governor Kemp of Georgia back in line by taking out his future son-in-law, as Kemp was starting to ask questions about The Steal.

She (Angela Chao) was previously married to billionaire Bruce Wasserstein . . . until his death at age 61 due to “irregular heartbeat.” Those Chao gals have certainly managed to land themselves some mighty big fish!

No because he does the bidding of his Chinese masters. I'm wondering if his sister-in-law was killed as a warning: Don't quit as the Senate Majority Leader: We don't want anyone but you.

My take; her death was a stern message from some deep state criminal that Mitch McConnell betrayed or refused their request. However, I can attest via observation that generally, Chinese people can’t drive worth a damn.

“Breyer was married to the CEO of Foremost Group, philanthropist Angela Chao, the youngest sister of Elaine Chao and the widow of Bruce Wasserstein until her death in February 2024.”

Upon further investigation, it was determined that the full name of the deceased is Angela Mary Jo Chao. Fox Mulder and agent Sculley have been called out of retirement to investigate the full scope of the entire situation.

The Truth Is Out There

I’m starting a completely made up rumor.

She was killed by an assassin. The same assassin that killed Thomas Kingston.
