Witness to Tell Of 200000 Gift in Vesco Case
New York AP report outlines how former Attorney General John N. Mitchell is depicted as dismissive of Vesco pleas early in the federal fraud probe. Key witness Harry L. Sears testifies there was a shift after Vesco secretly gave 200000 to Nixon's 1972 campaign, with a meeting arranged by Mitchell involving Bill Casey at the SEC. Sears, a former New Jersey Senate leader, sought immunity and joined Vesco’s payroll, while Mitchell and Stans allegedly lobbied on Vesco’s behalf against SEC scrutiny.
