McCord Denies Pressure on White House to Win Jail Break
Watergate figure James W. McCord Jr. testified before Senate investigators he did not seek White House help to avoid jail. He described an unsigned December letter warning of consequences if the CIA were blamed for the wiretapping, and said he tested government taps by calling foreign embassies to be overheard. He also described discussions about manipulating CIA records and recounted offers of clemency via John Caulfield, while the White House denied any clemency offers or knowledge of a cover up.
