The downfall of Joseph McCarthy in 1954 was the result of the charges against the army, known as the Army-McCarthy hearings. These hearings exposed the bullying and unethical tactics used by McCarthy in his investigations of alleged communist activity within the government. The public opinion turned against McCarthy after these hearings, and he lost much of his political power and influence. The Defense Department, Voice of America, and State Department were all targets of McCarthy's investigations but did not play a direct role in his downfall.
