Hughes Played Both Sides In Nevada Political Plot
A 1968 scheme shows Hughes backing Nixon while courting Humphrey to curb Nevada nuclear tests. Maheu and Danner moved $100,000 from the Silver Slipper to Nixon ally Bebe Rebozo, with Hughes seeking secret White House leverage and a 90 day delay via LBJ. Humphrey claimed opposition to Nevada tests, yet aided Hughes’s plan before the Hughes group negotiated with the AEC.
