IRS resisted pressure to harass Nixon enemies, probe finds
Washington investigators report preliminary findings that the IRS refused White House pressure to target Nixon administration foes. Randolph Thrower and Johnnie Walters blocked requests, backed by Shultz and Walker, with possible political misuse still under study for a future report. The Watergate panel notes a list of enemies was sent to the IRS, though Dean suggested harassment, not the White House.
