For more than 30 years, the world has wondered “who was Deep Throat”, the Watergate source who told reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to “follow the money”.
Tonight, Editor and Publisher revealed who a top Nixon aide suspected, and was pretty sure he was right. Henry Kissinger.
Former aid John Ehrlichman went to prison for his role in Watergate, when he got out he worked with Walter Anderson the chairman and CEO of Parade magazine. Anderson tells EP that 20 years ago he asked Ehrlichman the question “so who was Deep Throat” and without hesitation Ehrlichman said “Henry Kissinger”.
This is “Breaking News” since Kissinger’s name has never surfaced before as the possible identity of DT. Ehrlichman was “absolutely convinced of it” says Anderson. He goes on to say that Kissinger was high enough in the organization to have the information and understand it, and close enough to Nixon to know the details.
Only Bernstein and Woodward know if Ehrlichman is right. They’ve said for years they’ll reveal their source for “All the President’s Men” once Deep Throat passes away.
