Mitchell denies Nixon link in ending antitrust suit
Former attorney general John N. Mitchell sharply denied a report that President Nixon ordered the government to settle the ITT antitrust case. Mitchell testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, calling the allegation totally false and without foundation. The inquiry centers on whether the case's dismissal was connected to ITT’s pledge to back the GOP convention with 400000 dollars.
