Stunning New Details Released Involving Death of Mitch McConnell’s Sister-in-Law

Angela Chao, the late sister-in-law of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, was heavily under the influence of alcohol and accidentally drove her car into a pond on the night she died, a new report from a Texas sheriff’s office says.

Chao’s death was reported last month, but few details were released about the accident that killed her.

Chao — the sister of McConnell’s wife, former Trump administration Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao — died on a Texas ranch, according to the report from the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office.

In the report, released Wednesday and obtained by the New York Post and other outlets, investigators detailed how Angela Chao became stuck in her vehicle and submerged in water on the night of Feb. 10.

The 50-year-old was staying at the ranch in central Texas with seven friends.

After having dinner at a guest house, she left for her private lodging on the property at 11:37 p.m. According to the police report, Chao was captured on video “[walking] unsteadily to her vehicle.”

Just yards from the guest house, she accidentally reversed her Tesla over an embankment and into a pond.

At 11:42 p.m., Chao phoned Amber Keinan, one of her friends at the ranch. According to People, Chao was described as calm during the call and told her friend she was going to die.

The two spoke for eight minutes while Chao’s friends attempted to save her, with some swimming to the car and Keinan paddling out in a kayak. A 911 call was placed at 11:55 p.m.

The rescue efforts by Chao’s friends proved unsuccessful, and the vehicle was eventually submerged about 25 yards from shore.

When first responders arrived, they managed to break the driver’s side window open and pull Chao from the car, but by then it was too late.

“EMS attempted emergency measures on Ms. Chao but she succumbed from being under the water,” Chief Deputy Robert Woodring said.

Chao was pronounced dead on the shore of the pond at 1:40 a.m. Among her last words were “I love you” while speaking on the phone to Keinan.

No autopsy was performed, but Chao’s blood alcohol concentration was reported to have been 0.233, almost triple the legal driving limit in Texas.

The report concluded that her death was an “unfortunate accident.”

Chao was the CEO of the dry bulk shipping company Foremost Group, which was founded by her father James Chao. She was married to businessman Jim Breyer.

In a statement announcing Chao’s death, her father described her as “a brilliant woman, a charismatic and visionary leader and much-loved by all her sisters, our entire family and friends.”

“Angela’s name in Chinese sounds like the characters for peace and prosperity,” he added. “She certainly gave more than her share of both to this world.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
