Salvatore “Sam” Giancana, also known as “Momo” and “Sammy the Cigar,” grew up in The Patch on Chicago's rough-and-tumble West Side, and after becoming a major player in the 42 Gang, an army of young thugs, graduated to the Chicago Outfit, which is said to have controlled illegal gambling and liquor distribution in Louisiana. He also had strong political connections.
In 1960, JFK, then a Massachusetts senator and presidential candidate, was introduced to Campbell by Frank Sinatra in Las Vegas, and she and the future leader of the United States quickly fell into an affair. But JFK wasn’t the only person involved with Campbell. A few months later, Sinatra introduced her to Giancana and more sparks flew. And with Kennedy winning the presidency that November, suddenly the mob was rumored to have a foot in the White House.
Now, in “Momo: The Sam Giancana Story,” we bring you the incredible evidence of how Giancana delivered three states for JFK’s election, and is suspected of possibly having a role in Marilyn Monroe’s controversial death. This program will also examine Giancana’s involvement with the CIA to kill Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and possible ties to the JFK assassination.
