There are newly declassified FBI files on the Nazi sympathies of John McCloy, the US assistant secretary of war during World War II.
McCloy went on to serve as World Bank president, US high commissioner for Germany, Council on Foreign Relations chair, and adviser to all presidents from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan.
McCloy performed legal work for several corporations in Nazi Germany before the War.
