Richard Nixon led the investigation resulting in Alger Hiss's conviction for perjury. Hiss was accused of espionage, and despite his claims of innocence, he was ultimately found guilty due in part to Nixon's efforts. Nixon's role in the Hiss case marked a significant moment in early Cold War America.
