Impeach Case Outlined In Final Defense Arguments
James D. St Clair, Nixon attorney, argues there is no evidence of presidential involvement in Watergate. He cites a March 22 1973 tape excerpt about a $75 000 payment to E Howard Hunt Jr that he says Nixon disapproved of, but Nixon has refused to release the full tape. The committee and Democrats decry the tactic as contemptuous. St Clair attributes the payment to John W Dean III rather than Nixon.
