Former Attorney General John N. Mitchell said he attended yearlong meetings where bugging and political espionage against the Democrats were discussed but he had no prior knowledge of the Watergate break in. He acknowledged meetings but did not identify participants or timing, and defended prior denials as still operative. Watergate investigations and related testimony continue as scrutiny widens.

Barre attorney Richard Davis plans a Washington County suit challenging Vermont capital gains tax within Gov Salman’s property tax relief package.
