Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?
The death of Angela Chao, CEO of the New York-based Foremost Group, sister to former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is now being investigated as a crime following a car crash in Texas, according to recent reports.
Chao, 50, was found dead in her sinking vehicle in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, on February 11. The ranch is reportedly owned by a corporation connected to her husband, Jim Breyer.
Emergency medical services personnel attempted to save her, but unfortunately, as stated by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office in a statement to the Austin American-Statesman, she “succumbed from being under the water.”
Multiple media reports have highlighted a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, which described the crash as “not a typical accident.”
Chao was the chair and CEO of the Foremost Group, a company her parents founded in 1964. She had worked her way up through the ranks, previously serving as vice president and focusing on ship operations and management, before being promoted to senior vice president with additional responsibilities. She eventually became CEO in 2018. (Read more from “Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?” HERE)
