Nixon says Martha Mitchell caused Watergate by distracting John
Nixon told David Frost that if not for Martha Mitchell there would have been no Watergate. He said he did not destroy tapes with major historical value and that destroying all tapes would have forced his resignation. He recalled Mitchell’s emotional distress in 1968 and 1972 and explained he ordered Haldeman to keep valuable tapes and destroy the rest.
