==JFK conspiracy allegations==
[[Madeleine Duncan Brown]], an advertising executive who claimed to have had both an extended love affair and a son with President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]], said that she was present at a party at the Dallas home of [[Clint Murchison Sr.]] (another oil tycoon), on the evening prior to the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]] which was attended by Johnson as well as other famous, wealthy, and powerful individuals including Hunt, Murchison, [[J. Edgar Hoover]], and [[Richard Nixon]].<ref name=Aynesworth>{{cite news|last=Aynesworth|first=Hugh|author-link=Hugh Aynesworth|title='One-man truth squad' still debunking JFK conspiracy theories|url=http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-news/20121117-one-man-truth-squad-still-debunking-jfk-conspiracy-theories.ece|access-date=February 6, 2013|newspaper=The Dallas Morning News|date=November 17, 2012|location=Dallas}}</ref>

According to Brown, Johnson had a meeting with several of the men after which he told her: "After tomorrow, those goddamn Kennedys will never embarrass me again. That's no threat. That's a promise."<ref name=Aynesworth/>{{refn|group=nb|Brown provided a similar account on ''A Current Affair'' stating: "On the day of the assassination, not but a couple of hours prior to the assassination, he said that John Kennedy would never embarrass him again and that wasn't a threat – that was a promise."<ref name="Boston Herald">{{cite news|title=Celebrity|url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/access/68772275.html?dids=68772275:68772275&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Feb+24%2C+1992&author=&pub=Boston+Herald&desc=celebrity&pqatl=google|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411160906/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/bostonherald/access/68772275.html?dids=68772275:68772275&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Feb+24,+1992&author=&pub=Boston+Herald&desc=celebrity&pqatl=google|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 11, 2013|access-date=February 6, 2013|newspaper=Boston Herald|date=February 24, 1992|location=Boston|page=015}}</ref>}} Brown's story received national attention and became part of at least a dozen [[John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories]].<ref name=Aynesworth/> Kennedy assassination investigator [[Dave Perry (law enforcement)|Dave Perry]] refuted this theory with evidence showing neither President Johnson nor Hoover were in Dallas at the time of the alleged party and Murchison had not lived in his Dallas home for a number of years. Witnesses place Murchison at his East Texas ranch.<ref>name=Aynesworth</ref>
