Former White House aide Krogh admits burglary
Former White House aide Egil Bud Krogh admits he supervised the break in to Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist in 1971 and signs an affidavit. The affidavit suggests Nixon concerns over leaks tied to SALT talks, but not a direct link to the break in. Krogh, then head of the White House plumbers, supervised Liddy and Hunt who were convicted in Watergate.
