Magruder testified at the Senate Watergate hearings that Nixon had no knowledge of the wiretap plan or errors. He said a White House aide, Strachan, was told of the plan three months before execution and that Mitchell approved the final $250000 bugging proposal on March 30 1972 at Key Biscayne. He noted earlier meetings where Mitchell rejected higher sums and that logs were shown to Strachan. Magruder cited Liddy as originator of the plan and Dean as present at meetings.
