Nixon Clan Took $50,000 Worth of Free Flights
The IRS ruled Nixon must pay income tax on value of trips by his family and friends. Estimates by a congressional committee staff put the free government airplane flights at more than $50,000 from 1969 to 1972. The decision also says Nixon owes about $432,787 in back taxes for four years. The findings mark a unique conclusion in the committee’s twin verdicts on Nixon.
