Moore Says Nixon Knew Nothing of Watergate, Moore Testifies
White House counsel Richard A. Moore told the Senate Watergate Committee that President Nixon had no knowledge of official entanglement in Watergate and relied on FBI and grand jury probes. Moore acknowledged hesitancy to share rumors and that he believed Nixon learned of cover up only after late February or early March 1973. He noted Nixon consulted Dean and discussed clemency and hush money, while Moore himself did not disclose suspicions due to lack of concrete facts.
