Hunt seeks to change Watergate plea claiming government coercion
Former CIA agent E Howard Hunt Jr pleads guilty to Watergate crimes and now asks to change to innocent, alleging government suborned and concealed evidence. His lawyers say the conduct included burglary, bugging of the Democratic HQ, and destruction of notes from the White House safe. They contend the case stems from actions approved by the Nixon White House and argue lack of criminal intent. Segretti pleads guilty to a new Florida indictment for conspiracy and distribution of anti-Democratic materials. Treasury officials refuse to confirm Nixon brother wiretap rumors, citing executive privilege.
