Huey Long was a popular ex-governor of Louisiana, 1928-1932; senator from Louisiana, 1932-1935; a promising presidential hopeful, 1935.[1]
Punitive tax investigation
President Franklin D. Roosevelt had Long's finances investigated by the Internal Revenue Service in 1934.[2] Although they failed to link Long to any illegality, some of his lieutenants were charged with income tax evasion.[3]Roosevelt's son, Elliott, would later note that in this instance, his father "may have been the originator of the concept of employing the IRS as a weapon of political retribution".[4]
Assassination
A month after declaring that he would run for US president, Long was shot by a "lone nut" gunman[Who?]. Some people[Who?] suggest that he was shot by one of his own (bribed?) body guards. He was not killed outright and prompt medical attention might have saved his life.[5]
Official narrative
His page on Wikipedia was a featured article on 9 September 2021.
