A lot of secrecy still shrouds the FBI’s past obsession with former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
AllGov.com reports that the FBI has refused to disclose records detailing her trip to the Soviet Union in 1957 and 1958.
Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover believed Roosevelt was a Communist sympathizer.
Now a researcher with George Washington University is suing the FBI for the records under the Freedom of Information Act.
The files contain “charges against her for suspected Communist activities, threats to her life on the grounds of her disloyalty to the country, close monitoring of her activities and writings, and a record of possible insurrectionary groups that she may have influenced.”
