Deep Throat (Mark Felt)

Deep Throat was the pseudonym used for Mark Felt, an FBI official who secretly provided information to journalists during the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s. His tips were crucial in uncovering the involvement of President Richard Nixon's administration in the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and subsequent cover-up efforts. Felt's identity as Deep Throat remained a mystery for decades, only revealed publicly in 2005. His actions played a significant role in the investigation that ultimately led to Nixon's resignation from the presidency in 1974.
