Watergate’s ‘Deep Throat’ Passes Away

William Mark Felt, who died at age 95, was an unusual FBI man who made history. He helped reveal one of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century, which ended when Richard Nixon became the first US president to resign in disgrace, reports AFP.

“Felt, the number-two official at the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the time, was the secret informant known as “Deep Throat”, who provided two Washington Post reporters with crucial information about the Watergate scandal.

“For over 30 years after the scandal broke in 1972, Felt kept his role in the affair secret even from his family. It was only in 2005 that he made the revelation, saying that after years of remorse he was finally proud of what he had done.” More here…
