Mitchell Made Major Decisions Before Resignation
Odle testified that Attorney General Mitchell made major decisions for up to ten months before resigning in March 1972 and began running the Nixon re election campaign in April. He said ultimate political control rested with the White House and that memoranda reached Mitchell from the campaign after May 1971. Odle denied destroying documents and said he hired and later fired James McCord, a Watergate figure. He described the campaign committee as cooperative with the White House but not under direct control.
