Haldeman linked to plan to shift Liddy to McGovern
Former White House aide Gordon Strachan testified that H R Haldeman ordered Liddy in spring 1972 to transfer gathering capability from Muskie to McGovern. He said the move followed Liddy’s $300 000 plan for campaign intelligence and noted Kennedy ties in the broader intelligence effort. Strachan recalled meetings with Mitchell and Haldeman and said the matter was discussed but no further directions were given.
