Ford defends a 72 role and Levi rejects probe
Washington AP Ally Gen Edward Levi decided against a new investigation into President Ford’s alleged role in blocking a 1972 Watergate probe. He found no credible evidence to initiate a further inquiry and said the Justice Department will not pursue or request a special prosecutor to pursue one. Former White House counsel John Dean had alleged Nixon directed aides to press Ford. Ford defended his actions, stating he would do the same again and that he acted at the request of Banking and Currency Committee members to limit the probe to a narrow area.
