President Nixon seeks court disclosure on grand jury findings
Washington AP reports President Nixon asked U S District Judge John J Sirica to lift the protective order and disclose that a Watergate grand jury voted 19 to 0 to include Nixon among co-conspirators. The move follows the grand jury action and ties to upcoming bills of particulars for former aides. Legal experts note the development weakens executive privilege claims and complicates the tapes dispute before the Supreme Court and impeachment inquiry.
