Nixon tied to talk of clemency and aides
Washington reports say John Dean will tell the Senate Watergate committee that President Nixon discussed executive clemency for E Howard Hunt with Charles Colson in mid March. Dean reportedly described Nixon as upset and distraught during the talks and said he should not have brought up the idea. Colson denied the clemency claim while Ehrlichman’s role is outlined in prior magazine reports.
