FBI Tried To Undermine King's Efforts?
A former FBI agent says in the 1960s the bureau tapped Martin Luther King Jr. and used the material to undermine King and influence white backers. He says journalists were urged to expose King's personal life with data supplied by taps. The agent, Arthur Murtagh, cites broad surveillance, attempts to sway Atlanta leaders from a Nobel banquet, and ongoing monitoring through years, with corroboration from others. He plans a book and criticizes Hoover while detailing a mass surveillance program.
