Krogh resigns after admitting break in planning
Former White House aide Egil Bud Krogh resigns as Transportation undersecretary admitting he aided plans to break into the offices of Ellsberg's psychiatrist with Ehrlichman approving. He says the move was justified by national security concerns at the time but now regrets injuring people and the rule of law. He cites lack of superior approval and vows to aid full disclosure.
