Nixon and aides fined over Halperin wiretap damages
UPI reports a federal judge ruled Richard Nixon H R Haldeman and John Mitchell must pay damages to former NSC aide Morton Halperin for telephone bugging in 1969. Kissinger dismissed as a defendant. Judge Smith found no subjective good faith defense and set a 20 day window for proposed damage amounts, with Halperin seeking about 3 million dollars. The ruling cites grave concern over leaks and notes later political motive in surveillance after Halperin left the staff.
