694 He was bewildered: When Newman was transferred to the Washington field office shortly before the end of the standard two-year tour, he suspected even more that something was wrong. In September just before he left, he went into the Oval Office to have his picture taken with the president. The Secret Service agent might have spoken about the matter, but he knew that was not done. “I was afraid to say something,” Newman said three decades later, when the matter still profoundly rankled him and he continued to feel that his honor had been betrayed. “I thought if I said something my whole career might blow up in my face.” LL interview with Larry Newman.
