Clifton Crawford Carter was born in Bryan, Texas, in 1918. He first became involved in politics in 1937 when he was a volunteer worker in the Lyndon B. Johnson election campaign.
LBJ fundraiser
After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Clifton C. Carter became Johnson's chief fundraiser. He was officially executive director of the Democratic National Committee. Johnson sold $1,000 memberships to the Johnson Club with the pitch: "Members are assured of a direct relationship with President Johnson".
In 1966 Carter was forced to resign as executive director of the Democratic National Committee after questions were raised about his fundraising techniques.[1]
JFK assassination
In January 2025, in a recording recently released by Billie Sol Estes’ grandson Shane Stevens, it is claimed that LBJ orchestrated a series of murders, including the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, to consolidate his political power. These claims are based on never-before heard audio of Clifton C. Carter, the former Executive Director of the Democratic National Committee and close associate of LBJ, admitting that LBJ hired Mac Wallace to assassinate JFK. If true, these allegations suggest not just a betrayal in the 1960s, but a continued legacy of corruption within government agencies that persists today. Dallas, where President Kennedy was tragically assassinated, remains central to this narrative and to the unanswered questions that haunt the city more than 60 years later.[2]
Died aged 53
Cliff Carter died on 22nd September 1971 in Arlington Hospital (Va) after a brief illness.[3]
