The Senate inquiry examined documents and memos about Maragon as witnesses awaited his testimony. Francis Flanagan read items while questions focused on Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan informing the State Department in 1945 that President Truman wanted Maragon to travel to Europe. The trial’s outcome hinged on whether Maragon would speak.
