Maj. Gen. German Feldman acknowledged he provided James V. Hunt with Army buying plans in 1947 but said the information was not confidential and he did not know Hunt’s status as a five percenter. In a Senate hearing he insisted he never abused his office and welcomed the inquiry. The committee showed he sent buying data to Hunt and advised a purchasing officer to contact Hunt, who claimed access to the White House. Hunt told a client after Truman’s victory that officials were his friends and suggested improved standing if Dewey won.
