Was there really a Mormon Mafia?

After Candace Owens revived the phrase while discussing the death of Charlie Kirk, social media exploded with jokes—and questions. But according to Jim Bennett, the "Mormon Mafia" wasn't just an internet meme. It was a very real network of influential Latter-day Saints whose connections reached into the worlds of Howard Hughes, Las Vegas, the CIA, Watergate, and American politics.

Drawing on his own family's remarkable firsthand experiences, Jim separates myth from history, explaining how his father became entangled in the Howard Hughes empire and why that bizarre chapter of American history continues to fuel conspiracy theories decades later.
