FBI Probe Finds No Security Leak
The FBI found no security breach by Walter W. Jenkins or evidence of blackmail linked to his morals arrests. Hoover reported Jenkins admitted indecent acts in 1959 and 1969 but found these occurred under extreme strain and fatigue amid extensive interviews with co workers and doctors at the White House. The investigation noted limited associations with individuals tied to sex deviates, but no classified data was compromised.
