Richardson quits over Watergate plan and Cox firing
Washington report on Elliot Richardson leaving the Nixon administration after a clash over a plan to force Cox from the White House and end Watergate material access. The attorney general faced pressure from Haig and White House aides as Cox resisted subpoenas and a standoff intensified amid a looming deadline. Richardson contemplated resignation, engaged in negotiations, and ultimately resigned after President Nixon insisted on the access order and firing Cox.
