Judge Denies Nader Plea For Special ITT Probe
Judge Joseph Blumenfeld dismissed Ralph Nader's bid for a special probe into the 1971 ITT antitrust settlement. The court found no basis to challenge the merger reversal or imply executive branch influence, noting the settlement's terms and the lack of proven misconduct by Atty. Gen. Mitchell or other officials. The White House acknowledged Nixon intervention but denied political exchange for support in 1972.
