The whereabouts of Marty Mitchell has confounded the public since the news of her parents’ separation and divorce following the Watergate Scandal. Her father is John N. Mitchell who made history as the very first attorney General of the United States to bag a jail sentence following the scandal. The scandal also blew up his marriage and scattered his family because even though we know that his wife Martha Mitchell packed up and left Washington DC after his sentencing, there has been no mention or sighting of his daughter at all.
Who is Martha Mitchell’s Daughter, Marty Mitchell?
Marty Mitchell became a known name to the public after her father John N. Mitchell became the Attorney General of the United States in 1969 when she was just eight years old, having been born on January 10, 1961, in New York. Her mother was John Mitchell’s wife of many years until the unfortunate scandal that led to their divorce.
Marty spent her childhood years being raised alongside her only sibling Clyde Jay Jennings who is her half-brother from her mother’s previous marriage before she met and married John Mitchell. The siblings were primarily raised in New York before they moved to Washington DC after their patriarch’s appointment as attorney general in 1969. Details about her education are that she allegedly attended the Stone Ridge Country Day School in Bethesda, Maryland, and got a degree from Georgetown University in an unidentified discipline.
She reportedly got her first degree from Georgetown University. Marty attended a Catholic school for her high school even though she was not a Catholic. Her parents only sent her there to ensure she got the kind of discipline they wanted her to grow up with.
As the only daughter of a high-profile lawyer, Marty was well taken care of, as she could be said to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father, John N. Mitchell, was the 67th Attorney General of the United States under President Richard Nixon. He also served as the chairman of Nixon’s 1968 and 1972 presidential campaigns.
What Does Marty Mitchel Do for a Living?
Currently, no information about the life Marty Mitchell is living is available in the public space. As such, we can’t say what she is doing at this time. However, she reportedly worked with a consulting firm after college.
Shortly after graduating from Georgetown University, Marty joined Dean & Associates as an associate. The consulting firm is based in Washington, where it explores the real estate industry.
What Happened to Marty Mitchell?
Marty Mitchell practically disappeared from the spotlight after her parent’s divorce in 1973, and has not surfaced again. Nevertheless, nothing significant happened to her, at least to the best of public knowledge.
One of the few times details about Marty Mitchell surfaced in the media space was when a story about her getting married was published. According to TheCinemaholic, a marriage notice published in March 1989 had her name on it. This suggests she is somewhere enjoying family life with her husband.
Where is Martha Mitchell’s Daughter Now?
From the time of Marty Mitchell’s birth, her parents had always been very fastidious about keeping her away from the limelight and shielding her from any negative press that comes their way. When the Watergate scandal broke, there was no negative press bigger than that, and as such other has been no sighting or mention of Marty at all. While the scandal lasted and while their divorce battle was sorted out, Marty was completely kept away from the media and away from the backlash.
Whatever John Mitchell and his ex-wife Martha did to shield their daughter Marty from their mistakes, it worked because she totally disappeared and has not been sighted in public to date. Some reports allege that she is currently married to a man named Paul Savidge in 1989 and that they made their home in Silver Spring, Maryland. This was based on a marriage notice in the papers bearing her name, but it has not been confirmed in any way except for the fact that it was published by her godparents Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth C Ebbitt.
Marty Mitchell’s Parents Were Influential Americans
Marty Mitchell’s parents were famous during the early years of their marriage because of her father’s affiliation to the emergence of Richard Nixon as president of the United States as well as the scandal it eventually led to. Her father John N. Mitchell was a municipal bond lawyer who eventually rose to become the 67th Attorney General of the US between 1969 and 1972 under President Richard Nixon.
At the end of his term as attorney General, he was appointed the chairman of Nixon’s presidential campaign and for his unorthodox methods of ensuring Nixon’s win during this period, he created a scandal that led to his conviction to a 19-month jail term.
Her mother Martha Mitchell, on the other hand, was a socialite who caught media attention for her vivacious and outspoken personality, especially during the Watergate scandal, where her candid and revealing comments played a vital role.
The Watergate Scandal Contributed to the End of Marty Mitchell’s Parents’ Marriage
Martha played a crucial role in the unveiling of the Watergate scandal, which ultimately led to the end of her marriage. It began with her discovery that her husband was instrumental in the illegal methods applied by the Committee to Re-Elect the President (CRP) that saw Nixon reelected into office. Being that he was the head of the committee at the time, she felt obligated to raise an alarm.
The alarm started the Watergate scandal that soon ballooned out of control and achieved three major things. First, it made her the first-ever whistle-blower, then it led to her husband being incarcerated and finally, it caused a rift that led to their divorce in 1973. She moved away from Washington DC and eventually passed away a few years later on May 31, 1976, after developing complications from multiple myeloma.
John Mitchel, on the other hand, died on November 9, 1988, after collapsing from a heart attack on the sidewalk while on the streets of the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. Marty’s father received full military honors for his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. His eligibility for the honor was due to his service during the World War II Naval and as a former Attorney General of the United States.
