Charles Gregory "Bebe" Rebozo (Tampa, 17 de novembro de 1912 – Miami, 8 de maio de 1998) foi um banqueiro e empresário da Flórida que se tornou famoso por ser um amigo e confidente do presidente Richard Nixon.[1][2][3][4]
Rebozo conheceu o então parlamentar Nixon, em 1950, por meio da mediação de George Smathers. Smathers tinha recomendado Key Biscayne como um destino de férias para Nixon, onde posteriormente construiu por lá uma residência de inverno. Enquanto Nixon estava de férias em Key Biscayne, Smathers convidou Rebozo para levar Nixon pescar em alto mar. Rebozo e Nixon, em seguida, começaram uma amizade, que durou 44 anos.[5]
Rebozo, rapidamente, se tornou o melhor amigo e assessor financeiro e imobiliário de Nixon. Em 1968, Rebozo mudou do Partido Democrata para o Republicano.
It was Bebe Rebozo who sequestered several of the "smaller" gifts, meted out in $50,000 increments.
r am also aware of the fact that after an at-ticle was published on Mr. Rebozo I got instructions that one of the authors ol that article should have some problems. I did not know how to deal directly with the situation. I discussed it with Mr. Caulfield. I was reluctant to call Mr. Walters, who was the head of the Internal Revenue Service and suggest that he do anything about this.
The men remained fast friends after Nixon left office. Mr. Rebozo continued to defend his friend, though he himself was not untouched by the scandals. He was investigated by a congressional committee for accepting a $100,000 cash donation from the mysterious industrialist Howard Hughes for a Nixon campaign.
