Hoover Faces Probers as White Case Swirls
FBI Director J Edgar Hoover said he warned Attorney General Tom Clark on February 21 1946 it would be unwise to rehire Harry Dexter White.

Brownell testified that Truman wanted to trap White by placing him at the IMF in 1946 while Hoover stood by, a claim Truman said Brownell had lied about on national TV.
