Anna Chennault was a war correspondent and prominent Republican member of the US China Lobby. Controversy surrounds Anna Chennault for the crucial role she may have played on behalf of the Richard Nixon 1968 presidential campaign in seeking to delay the Vietnam War peace negotiations. Such a delay would boost the chances for Nixon to win the presidential elections. Richard Nixon was not acting on behalf of the US government as of yet, and such interference in the peace process would, when proven, constitute treason according to the Logan Act.
