A former FBI official claims he was “Deep Throat,” the long-anonymous source who leaked secrets about President Nixon’s Watergate cover-up to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday.

W. Mark Felt, 91, who was second-in-command at the FBI in the early 1970s, kept the secret even from his family until 2002, when he confided to a friend that he had been Post reporter Bob Woodward’s source, the magazine said.

The report was confirmed later Tuesday by Woodward, who with Carl Bernstein broke the Watergate story.

“I’m the guy they used to call Deep Throat,” Felt told lawyer John D. O’Connor, the author of the Vanity Fair article, the magazine said in a news release.
