It is said to be Kim Philby, of course he could have been a double agent we will never know for sure.
Yes. When the Americans suspected that there was a double agent in the British secret service they actually shared their suspicions with Philby. Philby sent a message back to London via another member of the spy ring Guy Burgess, who broke his cover and defected to Russoa along with McClean. It was obvious that they had been tipped off and Philby was a prime suspect, he was investigated and he resigned from the secret service but managed to convince them he had done nothing wrong.
Kim Philby, the infamous British double agent, is buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels in the small town of Ghouta, near Moscow, Russia. He died in 1988 and was buried there after spending several decades in the Soviet Union following his defection. His grave is relatively unmarked, reflecting his controversial legacy.
Philby worked for the British Secret Service MI6 and even they did not know he was a double agent. Officially, his post in the U.S. was that of First Secretary to the British Embassy. Hoover would have had no reason to suspect he was a Soviet agent.
