Colson Denies Clemency Talk With Nixon On Hunt
Charles W. Colson testified before the House Judiciary Committee that he never discussed clemency for Watergate figure E. Howard Hunt with anyone at the White House including President Nixon. Rep. Wiggins described Colson as saying no clemency offer was made, while St Clair argued the term operation referred to leak investigations, not a break in. Colson’s remarks followed days of cross examination and raised questions about Nixon’s awareness of the Ellsberg break-in and related actions.
