Edgar Hoover and his gay lover, Clyde Tolson. “I’d sit with [them] on the beach every day,” Resnick said. “We were family.” Resnick also claimed that Meyer Lansky neutralized Hoover in Vegas by obtaining erotic photos of Hoover and Tolson together. He referred to Lansky as the guy “who put everything together.”
