Angelo Joseph Lano (born January 12, 1939) is a former American field agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (1961–1990) in Washington DC, notable for his work heading the investigation of, and appearing as a witness for, the Watergate scandal surrounding President Richard M. Nixon.[1] Lano was one of a number of FBI agents who was falsely accused as a source of information for Carl Bernstein and The Washington Post during the investigation, which helped shift White House suspicions away from Mark Felt,[2] who was revealed as informant Deep Throat on May 31, 2005.
He was portrayed by Ike Barinholtz in the 2017 film Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House and by Chris Messina in the 2022 television series Gaslit.
