Nixon ordered Ellsberg probe and covert action
Former White House aide Egil Krogh testified at the Pentagon Papers trial that President Nixon commanded the Ellsberg leak investigation with greatest urgency and Ehrlichman authorized covert activity. Krogh said the operation led to a break-in at Dr. Ellsberg's psychiatrist and that Ehrlichman censured the team after the burglary. The affidavit notes Nixon wanted to determine if the leak came from a single person or a broader conspiracy and mentions possible information from Dr. Lewis Fielding that could be key.
