Perjury confession adds to Watergate turmoil
A confession of perjury from Herbert L. Porter, once in charge of scheduling surrogate candidates for Nixons re election campaign, escalates Watergate turmoil. McCord seeks a new trial, Cox pushes for closed hearings or bans on live TV radio coverage, and Porter testifies he was urged to lie to the grand jury. The Senate panel continues hearings as appeals over testimony and immunity play out.
