Campaign funds GOP report draws fire in Washington
The Justice Department rebuked GAO for publicly releasing its report on $350,000 in Republican campaign contributions amid a push for possible criminal prosecutions. The GAO said the funds linked to the Nixon reelection effort involved $114,000 deposited in Bernard Barker’s account after the Democratic Committee break in. Stans claimed origins were before the law’s effective date, while jockeying for further investigations and potential indictments continued among lawmakers and Democrats.
