The House Judiciary Committee heard John Doar outline that President Nixon may have had general knowledge of the Republicans' planned espionage against the Democrats. Doar's evidence covered Oval Office meetings in spring 1972, suggesting Nixon might have been told of the Liddy plan prior to the Watergate break-in.
