The Unmaking of a President Part V Battle Front Arises
A Washington restaurant encounter foreshadows a new front as Vice President Spiro Agnew faces an expanding probe. The Baltimore case centers on county contracts, payments, and a widening web of engineering firms. Prosecutors use immunity deals to pressure figures from Lester Matz to William Fornoff, linking Agnew to bribes and tax evasion. Agnew denies wrongdoing, but pressure grows, prompting talks, resignations, and a looming constitutional battle.
