Thompson’s Watergate role nets him enduring notoriety
Thompson rose as a tough minded Senate Watergate counsel who pressed Nixon aides and tipped the White House to the committee’s knowledge of the Oval Office tapes. Nixon doubted his skill yet Thompson’s questioning during Dean’s testimony and Butterfield’s hearing brought him into national prominence and helped seal Nixon’s downfall.
