Best Answer

"Deep Throat" was the source of information for young Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who turned the Watergate scandal national in 1972.

It was not until nearly 33 years later (2005) that his identity was confirmed as Mark Felt, an associate director of the FBI (William Mark Felt, Sr. 1913-2008).
