Spiro Agnew
Spiro Agnew served as the 39th Vice President of the United States from 1969 to 1973 under President Richard Nixon. A former governor of Maryland, Agnew was known for his outspoken and often confrontational style, particularly in his criticisms of the media and anti-war activists. His vice presidency was marred by controversy, culminating in his resignation due to charges of tax evasion and bribery, making him the first vice president in U.S. history to resign in disgrace. After leaving office, Agnew faced legal battles and ultimately pleaded no contest to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence.
