McCarthy Defies Orders Blocking Him on Information
Senator Joseph R. McCarthy declared he would obey no one not even President Eisenhower as he pressed for access to information on alleged improper enforcement of laws. Speaking before the Senate Investigating Subcommittee and a nationwide audience, he framed his mission as seeking evidence of mastersance and wrongdoing, while noting CIA infiltration and past Fort Monmouth concerns. He acknowledged the Justice Department and White House hold enforcement power, but argued there is confusion over a congressional panel’s right to obtain information.
