Take any wealthy or well connected person, and they probably have familial ties to pretty much treasonous activities.
In a plot to overthrow the United States government in 1934 and establish a fascist state, Prescott Bush was implicated in a whistleblower's public announcement of the plot.
Though Butler had never spoken to them, Butler implicated several prominent businessmen and veteran leaders as backers of the plot including heads of Chase Bank, GM, Goodyear, Standard Oil, the DuPont family and Senator Prescott Bush. The committee chose not to publish these allegations because they were hearsay
No one was prosecuted, but in exchange Roosevelt coecerced support for the New Deal from the wealthy and powerful conspirators.
