House Committee on Un-American Activities report part 3 -

On July 1, 1933, Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, a congressional medal of honor winner, claimed that wealthy businessmen approached him for the first time and were plotting to create a fascist veterans' organization and use it in a coup détat to overthrow United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Butler contacted reporter Paul French, a reporter for the Philadelphia Record and the New York Evening Post, so that he would have someone to validate his story. After many meetings through out that year, Butler, French and others testified before the U.S. House of Representatives, Special Committee on Un-American Activities also known as The McCormick-Dickstein Committee, that a group of several men, representing mainly Wall-Street Banking interests had approached him to help lead a plot to overthrow Roosevelt in a fascist military coup. In their final report, the Congressional committee supported General Butler's claims on the existence of the plot, but no prosecutions or further investigations followed.
