Grave of Hillary Clinton's father 'vandalised' day after she declared for president

The grave of Hillary Clinton’s father appears to have been vandalised the day after she launched her presidential campaign.

Police in Scranton, Pennsylvania said that the headstone of Hugh Rodham had been toppled, possibly by vandals.

A caretaker at Washburn Street Cemetery noticed that the headstone was off its base on Monday afternoon.

Mrs Clinton declared that she was running for president on Sunday, leading to speculation that the perpetrator may have acted in response to the announcement.

Lieutenant Glenn Thomas of the Scranton Police Department said they were treating the incident as an act of “criminal mischief”, but had no information on what may have motivated the vandal or vandals.
