FBI Report Details Jenkins Conduct and Political Fallout
The FBI found Jenkins had limited associations with individuals alleged to be sex deviates but found no evidence of improper acts with them. Jenkins admitted indecent acts leading to arrests in 1959 and 1964 and claimed no familiarity with Andy Choka arrested Oct 7. He blamed fatigue and coercion for the 1959 arrest and said no blackmail occurred. The White House and Republicans gave no immediate comment on the FBI findings. The Jenkins case resurfaces in the presidential campaign with charges of cover up.
