Alger Hiss
Alger Hiss was convicted of perjury for lying under oath during a 1948 trial concerning accusations that he had been a Soviet spy. The case centered around his alleged espionage activities in the 1930s, which he denied vehemently. Hiss was ultimately found guilty of lying to Congress about his involvement with Communist Party members and the passing of classified information. His conviction in 1950 became a significant event in the context of Cold War tensions and the Red Scare in the United States.
