John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972) was a Statesian domestic terrorist and the first director of the FBI, ruling from 1935 until his death in 1972. President John F. Kennedy was planning to make him retire by his 70th birthday in 1965, but Lyndon B. Johnson signed an executive order exempting him from the mandatory federal retirement age after Kennedy's assassination.[1] Hoover oversaw the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., which the FBI began planning in May 1964.[2]
