Caulfield Testifies Nixon Linked to Clemency Offer
Caulfield said Dean told him high White House officials would offer executive clemency to Watergate burglar McCord and that he believed the President was involved. He testified Dean did not name Nixon and urged secrecy. Caulfield said no one told him of the offer before meetings with McCord and that Nixon denied authorizing clemency. He admitted doubts but said loyalty to the President influenced him. The hearing focused on the clemency proposal and Caulfield’s role between Dean and McCord.
