Mitchell Testifies He Told Nixon Nothing of Watergate Plans
Former Attorney General John N. Mitchell testified on Capitol Hill that he rejected the Watergate wiretap plan and did not brief President Nixon. He said he kept details from Nixon during the campaign to avoid harming the President’s re election and anticipated a housecleaning after the election. Mitchell denied approving the plan and said he burned the drafts to prevent incriminating documents. He maintained no overt acts were taken in the Liddy plan unlike the Berigan case and defended keeping facts from Democrats as a consideration.
