Nixon aides face sealed findings in Watergate case
The Watergate grand jury indicted seven associates of President Nixon for conspiring to obstruct justice while leaving its findings about the President himself sealed.

The grand jury charged 24 felonies, with max penalties up to five years and fines to $10,000, as it alleged efforts to destroy evidence, mislead, and obtain FBI information.
