John Currington, the 93-year-old former right-hand man to H.L. Hunt, comes forward to discuss his role in Hunt's political operations. Currington claims that Hunt had advanced knowledge of the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination and immediately moved to protect his interests. As a "fixer" for the richest man in America, Currington witnessed the intersection of oil money, the FBI, and political violence.
John Currington describes delivering a briefcase containing $125,000 in cash to attorney Percy Foreman to ensure that James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the murder of Martin Luther King Jr. The goal was to prevent a public trial where Ray might reveal who actually funded or organized the assassination. This payoff, orchestrated by H.L. Hunt, effectively closed the case and protected the high-level conspirators involved.
