LaRue, Frederick Cheney

LaRue, Frederick Cheney
▪ 2005

      American businessman and political figure (b. Oct. 11, 1928, Athens, Texas—d. July 24, 2004, Biloxi, Miss.), served as an aide to Pres. Richard M. Nixon and was a prominent figure in the cover-up of the Watergate break-in during the reelection campaign in 1972. Although he was the “bagman” who delivered the payoff money to the burglars to encourage their silence and served 136 days in prison after pleading guilty to obstruction of justice, he was rumoured to be “Deep Throat”—the insider who helped reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in their investigation of the story for the Washington Post—an allegation he denied.
