McCarthy Finances Under Scrutiny in 1953 Probe
The subcommittee examined McCarthy’s banking committee status and possible access to confidential Air Line stock information. It questioned funding sources for anti- communism work and whether relatives’ 1944 campaign contributions were personal funds. McCarthy denied misuse, while Benton’s links to campaign money were deemed moot. Brownell cleared McCarthy of tax and election-law issues. Benton said McCarthy influenced votes modestly in his 1952 defeat, attributing the swing to Eisenhower.
