False Testimony Given by Porter
Washington AP The deputy director of the Nixon campaign procured perjured Watergate testimony and told a colleague he himself had lied a dozen times. Porter testified that Magruder directed him to lie to a grand jury and at the Watergate trial to shield the President. He said the motive was loyalty and fear of embarrassment, with funds for Liddy described as payments to college students, though he later questioned the details. Porter also admitted handling stolen Democratic documents under pressure, and Sloan and Haldeman provided further testimony on perjury and investigations. The Senate panel warned Porter to return for further questioning as more witnesses disputed early accounts. Separately, a Sheboygan County youth, Wayne Christ Jr., died in a car crash two miles east of the Fond du Lac line, adding Wisconsin’s 1973 highway toll.
