What is the business plot against FDR?
Sources:
The "Business Plot" against Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was an alleged conspiracy in the 1930s involving prominent businessmen who were purportedly unhappy with FDR's policies. According to the claim, these business leaders attempted to recruit Major General Smedley Butler to orchestrate a coup to overthrow FDR and stop his progressive policies which they believed were detrimental to their interests. General Butler, however, exposed the plot by reporting it to Congress, which led to hearings, though no one was prosecuted and the extent and details of the plot remain controversial and somewhat unclear 1.
