[color="Navy"]Larry King tried to sell his influence with Richard M. Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell to a convicted stock swindler named Louis Wolfson.

Larry King birth name: Lawrence Harvey Zeiger

My guess is Larry King never had any influence with the Nixon administration in the first place.

Larry King is one of America's most popular talk show hosts. Larry King Live airs live on CNN, and is then rebroadcast on tape ad nauseum until viewers know it by heart. King's parents were Russian immigrants, and he grew up in Brooklyn, where Sandy Koufax was a childhood chum. King started working as a janitor and gopher at a Miami Beach radio station in 1957, and first went on the air when one of their announcers quit without notice.

[color="Blue"]In 1971, King was arrested for grand larceny, and pleaded no contest to passing a bad check. The particulars remain muddled and unproven, but it's alleged that King tried to sell his influence with Richard M. Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell to a convicted stock swindler named Louis Wolfson.
